I have a chart with numbers 1-5 in four columns. I need these numbers to
come in at once and be able to click on one and have it disappear. How do I
do that?

Which version of PPT, and are your numbers in a PPT table, a bunch of
individual textboxes, all in the same textbox, or what?
 
The version of PowerPoint is 2000. I have the numbers in individual text
boxes right now, but can put into a table.
 
Ok, thanks.

You'll have to fake the "disappear" in PPT 2000, as it doesn't have exit
animations.

Group the appropriate textboxes. Right-click the group, choose Custom
Animation, and add the appropriate entrance animation.

Then draw an autoshape large enough to cover the group. Double-click the
autoshape and go to the Colors and Lines tab. Pull down the fill color menu
and choose "background" to fill the autoshape with the same color as your
background.

Now right-click that autoshape, choose Custom Animation, and give it a
dissolve entrance animation. Then group your next column of textboxes,
right-click the group, choose Custom Animation, and set an entrance
animation to start automatically 00 seconds after previous. (The "previous"
is, of course, the autoshape that dissolves in to cover the first column to
make it look like the first column is disappearing.)

Repeat for all columns.
 
Thanks for this, but it is not doing exactly what I need. What I have are
numbers 1-5 like 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3
etc.
and what I need is to be able to do is click on any one of the four ones or
twos or threes or fours or fives and have that one either disappear of "X"
out. This is like a gave show with 5 questions in 4 categories and when one
questions is asked from a category, it can't be used again. Is there a way
to do this?
