using variables to set contents of text box on another slide?

Jul 03, 2012

Is there a way to use the value of a variable to set the contents of a text box?  for example, if the value of variable1 is true, set the contents of a text box on slide 3 to "text".

Hi Amy,

Depending on your needs, you could do this with one Text variable. Here is how I would do it :

Create the variable named "GirlName"

Let's say I have 3 buttons

when button 1 is clicked change variable "GirlName" to Value "Sabrina"

when button 2 is clicked change variable "GirlName" to Value "Mélanie"

when button 3 is clicked change variable "GirlName" to Value "Katherine"

On the other slide, I insert my text : example - Her name is %GirlName%

Otherwise, if you want to do it with a numeric variable, you will need a second variable that adjust in accordance to the numeric value of the first variable.

Hope it helps and have a nice day!

Don't hesitate to post back if you need further information.
