Can I add a textbox for users' notes in presentations?

[Guest]

I am using PPT 2003 for an interactive training session and I would like
users to key-in their own answers in a text box before they find out what the
correct response was. It is not necessary to mark their results with any
sort of scoring process. The object of the exercise is to simply make them
assemble their thoughts and put them into writing. I want them to stay in
'Show' view.

There are a few ways to do this. The easiest way is to draw a text box on
your slide from the Control toolbox (View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox).
On a Windows computer, this is something that you can type in right on
the screen.

Another thing you can do uses VBA and is demonstrated in Example 6.7 on
my site:

Go to "Examples by Chapter" and click on Chapter 6 to find it.
