create fill in the blank in PowerPoint
techidave:
Looking for an easy way to create a fill in the blank type question in PowerPoint 2003 or 2007. My pastor would like something like this when I do his sermon notes. For example:
For God so ____ the world that He ____ His only begotten _____. And then to have the blanks filled in one at a time on mouse click.
I have look on Google, Yahoo and microsoft but haven't found the answer yet.
I figured the good people at DC would have an idea if this can be done or not.
thanks,
Dave

Here you go. I just put the words you want to fade in in separate text boxes and told them to fade in on click.
techidave:
Thanks cthorpe, the first fill in overlaps the word before it. I had tried something similar before but couldn't get the fill ins to line up correctly. I was hoping there was a add in or something that would make this a lot easier. Plus it seemed to be harder than what it should be to do this. I need to look at PPT 2007 to see if it might be easier to do this...doubtful.
I even tried the Presenter that comes with Open Office but it didn't do it either.

Is it ok if the words appear in a specific order? In which case just have several slides that build up to the completed sentence.

I have tried that it doesn't look very professional. Not that I am a pro but would like it to look good.
