Powepoint Quiz Problem

[Phil]

My wife is a hospital teacher and wants to create a Powerpoint quiz to give
to the children. I've shown her how to make a slide with different answers
and how to jump to other slides based on the choices made, and that's fine.
But she would like some way of recording the children's choices to give a
final score. Is there a not too complicated way to do this which doesn't
require getting into Visual Basic etc.?

As a followup to my previous message, you can't do what you want without
VBA, but you can take some examples and edit them without the need to
edit the VBA. Many of my examples that are just multiple-choice require
no change to VBA; you just have to link the buttons to the pre-written
VBA scripts. Also, several examples at the end of the Chapter 8 section
of my Web site, are made to be templates that you can modify without
modifying the VBA.

As David mentioned, something like this can not be done without VBA. I have
a sample download that provides some interactivity but doesn't keep score.
You can download this file at (bottom sample file):

Also, since learning VBA might be too daunting a task for what might be a
one-time thing, feel free to send me your multiple choice questions and I
will put something together for you. You can send the info to:

pttinc at itexas dot net

If you really want to delve into this, I do have a small tutorial on keeping
score in PowerPoint at:
