I am creating a training package in Powerpoint. Within the slide presentation
the user is asked to enter their name and ID. I would like to then take that
variable input and append it to an Excel spreadsheet for tracking purposes.
Is this possible and if it is - how do I do it?

Thanks

This is definitely possible, but I haven't done it. Hopefully, someone else
will be able to tell you how to do it. However, what I have done is saved
data like this to a text file (in the right format, that text file can be
read into Excel). Look at Trick #1 on the More Tricks section of my Web site
