PowerPoint game making

[Guest]

I am making a game in PowerPoint and I want to create two score boxes that I
can change during the presentation and that will stay for the next slide.
Can someone help me?

batlady,

to keep score you will have to use/learn something called VBA

Where can I learn more about VBA programming in PowerPoint?

particularly this website

As there may be a ready to go answer

In addition to David's site that TAJ mentioned, you can also check out my
FAQ on "Keeping Score" in PowerPoint. The link is:

No prob. I have trouble remembering them myself. I usually go to my
"little" FAQ page to see if one is there before I respond. Trying not to
duplicate too much stuff from the "mother of all FAQs"! HA!
