These examples were created by real people and not the author of the book. The author has tried to screen out bad, inappropriate, or broken examples, but he makes no warranty as to the quality or usability of any of these examples. Also, some examples might use features that are not available in all versions of PowerPoint (such as advanced animations only available in 2002 and above or UserForms only available on Windows). When available, the version it was created in is noted, meaning that the example is more likely to run in that version (but might still run in other versions).

Examples are in Zip (*.zip) format. Be sure to unzip them before trying to run them.

Quiz Creator and Theme Picker by Josh Mason Josh is trying to help other teachers use PowerPoint to create quizzes so he created these two tools. The Quiz Creator has the code locked so you can use it but not see how it works. The theme builder has the code open. Both of these are housed on Josh's Skydrive so you can go there and download the PowerPoint files from there.	Quiz Creator Theme Picker	PowerPoint 2007 (Windows)
