James,

I can think of a quick way of doing this using "audio".

e.g. it plays a "nice sound" on the correct answer when clicked, or plays a
"dud" sound for the wrong answer.

Right click the "correct" action box/text/shape and choose "action
settings". Then choose "play sound" on "mouse click". then choose a sound
you want to play.

Repeat for the wrong answers.

If audio is not going to cut it for you, then you will need to create
seperate slides for "correct" and "wrong", then assign the "action" setting
to jump to those "correct" or "wrong" slides. If you use customshows, you
can set it to "show and return".

For the whole nine yards on powerpoint and quizzes see
