Troubleshooting
• If you weren’t able to begin the game, it’s probably
because your PowerPoint security settings are set too
high. Here’s what to do:
– Open PowerPoint and choose ‘Options’ from the ‘Tools’ menu
– Click on the ‘Security’ tab and on ‘Macro Security’ in the lower
half of the screen.
– Set Macro security at ‘Medium’ and close PowerPoint.
• Click the button below to go back to the Main Menu, and
re-open this quiz. The computer should ask you whether
you want to enable macros. Tell it to enable them.
