Dynamic Scoring

[Ron Fella]

I have inherited a Jeopardy like PowerPoint game/slide show from the
last guy that had this job. It's pretty simply in that it is just a
slide consisting of a Jeopardy board. When each money value on the
board is clicked it takes you to a slide with the answer. Now however
my boss wants me to add a way to keep score! I have no idea how I do
this. I was thinking I would link each answer page to a page that
allowed the facilitator to say which team answered and if they got the
question right or not. This is all pretty easy but he wants the team
totals to be displayed back on the Jeopardy board! How do I
dynamically update these scores on the Jeopardy board slide? I've
been using PP for a few years and have been a programmer for many more
but have never done any kind of programming in PP and I don't know
VBA. I am using PP2k. Please help! My project is in Jeopardy! ;-)

I have upgraded it slightly by adding a "Reset" button. I'm not sure if I
uploaded it or not. If you want it, e-mail me directly.
