As far as I know, no one here has a life. Oops, I mean no one here gets
paid (with the possible exception of John, who is the only Microsoft
employee who posts regularly). Outside of my regular job, I get a 3
figure income from the royalties from my book (actually, I haven't
received my first royalty check, so if I'm lucky, it might break into
four figures).

In terms of your problem, I am envisioning a fairly simple solution with
VBA, but I'm not entirely clear on what your're doing. I picture a slide
with four buttons, in which the user is asked to click on the button that
represents him/herself: financial, customer, internal, and learning.
The button could ask a series of questions to get the data it needs and
then create the slide in the right format. My web site has an example of
creating a slide based on information that was entered. Check out
Example 7.9 at:

Since I don't completely understand what your score cards look like, this
might not be the right solution, but if you want the format to be just
right, having VBA create the slide just like you want it seems to be a
good solution.
