Use Function Keys to Trigger Animations?

[Michael]

I've built a fairly authentic version of the Family Feud game board, with
blinking lights, sound effects and everything.

When the panelists make a guess, I have to use the mouse to click on the
game board to reveal the answer. It kind of takes away from the "magic."
I'm looking for a way to use the function keys or the number keys to trigger
the animation - hit F1 to roll over answer 1, for example.

Any suggestions on how to do that? I'm not visual basic proficient but I'm
always willing to learn.

Thanks,
Michael

There's no simple way to do this.

You would need to write vba code to do each action you need and then use the
office one addin shortcut manager to call the macros from keystrokes. Its not
an ideal first vba project!

Make sure your macro security is set to MEDIUM and you click "Enable Macros"
