<P class=MsoNormal>You could instead teach them VBA and combine it with
PowerPoint. It makes some really funky things possible in PPT and is great for
interactive digital stories, pretty simple to learn and is still a scripting
language.<BR><BR>This site www.*mindtools*.*tased*.edu.au has some great basic
tutorials to get started.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Kind regards,<BR><BR>*Brett
