Everyone is familiar with dropdown menus, they're an integral part of Windows, Office and many other programs.

Can you use them to navigate in a PowerPoint Presentation though?


With vba code (if you can program) then you can use a control combo box. Even if you know how to program this you will meet problems if the user has the free viewer or has security set to high.

Audience Voting in PowerPoint

There are quite a few (expensive) systems out there to provide your audience with keypads to vote on topics.

You can of course close down your show edit a graph and re open. That looks tacky though!

PowerPoint Alchemy have a simple solution and there's even a totally working free demo!
