PPT - Need to change designed menu (page) after item selection

[brianm]

Hi,

I run communications groups for people who have survived a stroke. PPT is
an ideal vehicle for this - dynamic, interactive.

Problem?
I have designed a quiz that has about 50 slides. On one of the early slides
there are 5 subjects (Art, Science etc) shown on a page (1). When the
chosen subject is clicked I do a 'link' to 6 consequitive (questions) slides
on that subject. At the end of the 6th slide I have a control arrow that
takes be back to the selection menu - (1) above.

Question
How can I 'delete' the subject first chosen when I return to the menu page -
and each other chosen, until all 5 subjects have been chosen.

I could normally work with things as they stand but given the target
audience, this can sometimes be confusing.

Thanks for reading. Reasonably competent until you mention VBA!

Regards

Brian

If I understand what you want to do, you should be able to do this with
triggers. The alternative is VBA, but I think you can get by without it.

You could make the subjects buttons. They will work just like what you
have now except that you will add an Exit animation to the button. The
timing of the Exit animation should be triggered by a click on the
button itself. That way, when you click the button, it will take you to
the appropriate section and trigger itself to disappear. When you come
back to the slide, the button will be gone.

There are lots of tutorials about using triggers, including this one:
