Jeopardy v4.0
This version features an updated timer, a setup menu, sounds, and improved graphics. The timer default is 30 seconds. To
change it, go to the Setup menu.
First: in order to use this program, you need to enable macros. In Office 2007, it will automatically ask if you want to enable the
macros. If you have an earlier version, then use the setup menu to access instructions on how to enable them.
To use this, simply edit the names of the categories to fit what you need, and then enter your questions (and answers) on the
appropriate slides.
Once you’ve entered all the questions, run the show. You must hit the “Start Game” button on this page (it will make sure all the
questions appear). Click on the question chosen and that slide will come up. To start the timer, click the block of white squares.
They will tick off to show the passage of time. When time is up, a stop sign will appear. Click the stop sign to reload the timer.
To show the answer, click anywhere on the slide other than the timer or the back button. When the question has been
answered, click the word “Back” in the lower right hand corner to bring yourself back to the main page. Once there, click the
name of the team that got it right and enter the point value of the question. The score will be updated!

Macro Instructions
Daily Double Instructions
Main Menu
Instructions For Adding A Daily Double:
1) Use Word Art to create a nice “Daily Double”.
2) Copy the word art to whichever slide(s) you want the Daily Double to be on.
3) Go to the Animations screen and choose “Custom Animation”.
4) Click the Daily Double Word Art to select it and choose “Add Effect”. There should be a
great number of entrances to choose from.
5) Right click on the element that was just added to the Animation list and drag it to the top
of the list. Now right click and choose “Start with Previous”. This will cause the graphic
to enter when the slide is shown. Now choose “Effect Options”. The second menu box
down should say After Animation. Click the arrow and choose “Hide on Next Mouse
Click”. Click Ok.
6) Finally, click on the question (just the question) in the main screen. Go back to the
custom animation panel and click Add Effect, then find the effect labeled “Appear”. Now,
when you go to the slide, you should have an appearing Daily Double graphic which
disappears and shows the question the next time the mouse is clicked.
P.S. If you want to add a Daily Double sound effect, then when you go into the “Effect Options”
menu to make it disappear after the mouse click, choose a sound to play.
Setup
Instructions For Turning On Macros:
1) If you’re using Office 2007, then when the PowerPoint opens, there will be a status bar at
the top of the screen saying macros have been disabled. There is a button that says
“Options”. Choose this, and then choose “Enable” and click OK.
2) If you are using earlier versions of Office, then it is a little more complicated:
A) On the top menu, choose “Tools”
B) Choose “Security”
C) Choose “Macros”
D) You will be given three options (Low, Medium, and High). Choose Medium.
E) Click OK, then close PowerPoint completely.
F) Restart the program.
Macros should now be enabled. To check , try running the slideshow and clicking the “Start
Game” button. If nothing happens, then feel free to email me at
[email protected], and I will try to help you out.
