possible to make slide interactive for students?

I have a story on a slide and key words are missing. I'd like for my students
to be able to select a word from a drop down menu to insert into the blank.
Can this be done on PowerPoint?

There are lots of possible solutions. To get the actual drop-down menu
would require an Active X combo-box control with some VBA code to
populate the combo box (and this will only work on Windows). If you have
PowerPoint 2002 or later, you could animation triggers to have a someone
click on a word from a list (but not a drop-down menu) and have the word
fly in, but this would only work for one word at a time (the advantage is
that it requires no code). If you do end up with code, you might look at
some of the examples at my site:

I don't have a drop-down menu example, but I have several other things
that might work for you. I am thinking about the Drag and Drop example
(click on the More Tricks link).
