How do you create a jeopardy game using a powerpoint?

I would think Excel would be easier to create a Jeopardy game, using Visual basic for Applications (VBA) as the back-end, and for the user interface, and excel would be nice to hold all the questions and answers and point values. You could create the game in PowerPoint with a macro in using VBA, but I would think it would be more difficult.





Either way, I would recommend creating a form in VBA, click Tools %26gt; Macro %26gt; Visual Basic Editor, you can add some buttons for point values and some labels for the categories. You could format the form to open full screen, and with no borders and title bars. When a player selects a point value and category, "Alex" could click the corresponding button, and a new form would come up with the question. All questions could be stored in an excel spreadsheet, and loaded when the macro starts. Practice recording macros, and check out this site, it is older, but still has some good info on it. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ExcelPages鈥?/a>
