Multiple Choice Quiz

[camfont]

Hello there,

I need assistance creating a multiple-choice quiz using drop-down menus (or
check boxes) in Word. Obviously, I need some kind of macro that checks the
answers and sees if they are correct, and then adds 1 point if that is the
case. At the end, the total score is displayed.

This may seem pretty complex (it does to me, anyway!), and I'm completely
illiterate when it comes to macros, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much.

I'd actually already read those articles, but they perform tasks different
from what I need, which is simply to check whether each answer is correct and
if so to add one point. Also, all those points need to be added up and
displayed at the end.

Thanks,
