Jeopardy

[Guest]

I'm using a Jeopardy game for learning recall purposes and would like to have
the boxes or the dollar amounts in the boxes, once chosen/clicked on, in the
slide show change to a different color so when I return to the main Jeopardy
screen everyone will know what boxes have already been chosen. Can someone
tell me if that's possible and, if so, how to I do it?

It's definitely possible. The details depend on exactly how you set up your
board. If you are clicking on text, it (that is, the numbers in the boxes,
rather than the boxes themselves), then the text should automatically
change color. If you are clicking on the boxes themselves, you will need to
set up animations for each box and set the timing of the animations to be
triggered by the click on the box. The animation can be some sort of
emphasis effect to have it change color or an exit effect to have it go
away altogther.
