Click it twice. Clicking it once only shows it at a fixed size with a black background if it's transparent. Clicking it again shows its full size with no background.

Is there anyway to make this puzzle board's chase lights animate when the puzzle is solved like in a GIF? I saw Strangercoug do it in his games, but I wasn't sure how to do it. Thanks!  |

I know someone posted the bonus envelopes on here a while ago... Don't worry I'm not asking what page those are on. I was wondering, however, is if someone could make a $75,000 envelope. Thanks in advance  Here's that along with the other two amounts it was tried with recently...    |

Does anybody have an idea on how to create a scoreboard using PowerPoint?

If you want to edit it in a presentation, I don't know how to do that in PowerPoint 2003. If anyone knows how to, please let us know.
Also, I read about the Surprise wedge's design during the Holiday 1997 season. Does anyone have an episode or something that shows us what it looked like? You don't have to make the wedge. I'd just like to see it please.

I know excatly how to make scoreboards in PPT.  I'm currently in the process of making a Wheel PPT software myself. I will be posting it when I'm completely finished, but I'm in no rush to complete it. TBH, I might wait until we hear about S30 changes to release it, but anyway, here's a tutorial on how to make Wheel scoreboards: 1) Go to Powerpoint options.
2) Go to the "Customize Ribbon" menu and tick the "Developer" box".
You will now see a "Developer" tab along the top.
3) Go to said tab and click the "Text Box" tool.
4) Draw the text box so that it fits about a third of the width of the presentation.
5) Click "Properties" in the Developer tab to open the Properties menu.
6) Change the "BackColor" accordingly (using the "Palette" tab), get rid of the bevel "SpecialEffect" (set to the "0" option) unless you want it there, and add some text (using the box next to "Text") as a guide for when you change the font. Then, click the "..." button next to "Font" and change the font and size to something that's bold and fits right in the box. Unfortunately, these kinds of text boxes have no options to add shadows, outlines, or skew the text (which means the show's actual score font is useless here since it is actually extremely wide when untouched). Change "ForeColor" (font color) to white.
7) Select your text box and press Control-D twice to copy it twice and move your copies accordingly. Then, change their BackColors. For the yellow one, you'll have to change the ForeColor to gray or black.
Now, you can enter the slide show and edit the text boxes during the presentation.
8) Make a copy of the slide for showing the total scores after each round. Be sure to clear the text boxes before your presentation.
9) Go back to your "round" slides and add a custom action button: the blank icon farthest right under "Action Buttons".
Change the hyperlink to the "Total Scores" slide
10) Add the same kinds of button to the "Total Scores" slide, one each for each round or Toss Up played (including the Bonus Round) except the first one since it is not necessary. Be sure to label them. This way, you can easily go from the totals to the next round instantly.
Hope this all helps. Any questions, ask. |

Does anyone have or can they make the 2003-2007 contestant area with the video wall and score displays? I used to have the 2002 one (the last with the gold video wall and first one with the animated score displays), but during the time of putting stuff from my old computer onto my new one, I seem to have lost it. If anyone has just the score displays, that would be fine, as well. If you have the video wall, leave the image area blank so I can fill it with whatever image I'd like. Thanks!How about never mind. Hahaha, I know this is VERY rough, but I decided to try and make my own, and thanks to PPT, this is what I came up with (sans the wheel being seen in the contestant score screens because I don't know how Mario and the others do that)...  Again, very rough, but it will serve my purposes well. Before I forget, credit goes to Mario for the gold Wheel logo. Everything else is my own work. |

Oooh...very nice. I really like it. ;D (Even if it is that sucky neon version.  ) One suggestion, though...I'd use a more bolder font for the puzzleboard and a less bolder font for the strips. More bolder? What kind of grammar is THAT? Effortless grammar. |

That looks remarkably similar to QWIZX's puzzleboard, font and all. Just saying.

It isn't. That puzzleboard has far fewer spaces; I trust it's Ryan's work.

*checks his copy of QWIZX's puzzleboard*
You're absolutely right. No harm meant.

Great job, Ryan! ;D
I have the actual puzzle board fonts if you're looking for them.

Thanks for the kind words! Well, I decided to take Guint's suggestions and I've made a couple of changes to my puzzleboard. Here's how it looks now:  And here's one with the blank category strip:  |

Shouldn't the lights be flashing in a "ripple" pattern starting in the center and moving out both ways?
