how do I create tick boxes for questionnaires

[climber]

Hello, I would like to generate a questionnaire.
Is it possible to create a box where people just tick a box? (i.e a "X" for
Yes)
All within ppt?
I know how to do that with Acrobat, but thought there might be a way without
leaving ppt.

It's easy to insert a checkbox (from the control toolbox) though it cannot be
scaled

It's not quite so easy to have the presentation act on the input and you
would have to use vba code.

Hi John
thanks a lot for your answer (wow, that was quick)
Succeeded in creating that check box but have 2 questions:
A) there is a C next to it- how can I delete that?
B) as a 'user' I can only tick that box in the slide show mode- any other
chance?
(or is that what you meant by the vba(?) code?

Cheers

You can only tick it in slide show mode (I suppose you could with vba if you
needed to but it's not usual) If you want to ACTon the result you will need
code

eg
(not real code)
If box ticked go to slide 6
OR
If box ticked send email

The C is the start of it's caption "CheckBox1" you can zap this by right
clicking > properties and in caption delete or change.

BTW I wouldn't use control checkboxes if you are not using code. It looks
much better with triggers changing the font color from the same as the
checkbox to a contrast.

There are tutorials on triggers here:

Look at "One Trigger Two Actions" or if you email me I will send you a
simple demo
