clicking on random text boxes during presentation

[Guest]

Hi all,
I'm wanting my audience to call out words that I already have preselected
and put on a slide. But I'd like to be able to click on the area on the
slide were that word will be displayed but the words will be called out at
random. So i can't just resolve each word in sequence with the normal mouse
click mechanism that ppoint has. I need to be able to move my mouse to a
place holder on the screen and then when I click , the word that I've chosen
to show up in that spot then appears.

I hope this makes sense.
is this possible ? how can I do it?

Mark,
Which version of PPT are you using? If you are using PPT 2002 or later, you
can use triggers for this. I have a number of articles on triggering
animations on my site. Start with:

If you are using an older version, this is much more complicated
