Simulate flash cards (question/answer cards) in Word 2003?
Im using Word 2003. Im trying to think of a creative way to use Word for an
unusual application. Im taking some courses to prepare for a certification exam, and Im trying to think of a way to use Word for €śflash cards€ť €“ i.e., memorization cards. Traditionally, flash cards are in physical form, and are simply cards with a question printed on one side and an answer on the other. I imagine an online version of flash cards, probably in the format of a two-column table, where the first column has the questions and the second column has the answers. So far this is obviously easy. But heres the difficulty: Id like to hide the answers before Im ready to look at them. So maybe Id click on the question, and it becomes visible, but the answer is still hidden. Then when Im ready for the answer, I click on the answer, and it then becomes visible. Thats the principle. But how this €śclick to view€ť would be implemented in Word, I dont really have a good idea. Alternatively, the questions and answers could be hidden, and only become visible when I hover the mouse pointer on top of them. That would work fine €“ but I dont know any way in Word to highlight text through a mouse hover-over. Obviously Id prefer to do this in a simple way, where I can add a question/answer pair quickly and easily, rather than a lot of complicated formatting or lengthy macro programming. (Macros would be fine, as long as its not something that requires a lot of modification to add a new question/answer pair.) As an additional complication, some of the answers will contain graphics images which have been copied from another document. (For example, a formula or diagram from a slide handed out by the instructor.) Ideally, Id like to do the same thing with these: make them visible or invisible at will. Id probably settle for something less than a perfect solution, but this is the basic problem Im trying to solve. Does anyone have any good ideas? (If not in Word, are there other good tools that would do something like this?) Thanks. |
