confusion in ppt

I am working with ppt 2003, I am trying to create a kiosk-
like presentation. I have 2 checkboxes from the control
toolbox that I am using from ppt. Depending on which
checkbox is clicked, for example a "yes" / "no", I want it
to call up a particular series of slides based on the
answer that they click.

I want to know how to go about doing this and also I would
like to find out how to change the default size of the
checkbox in .ppt.

can anyone help?....Thanks
 
Although you can do this through the checkbox toolbox control, an easier way
might be the following:
1. Create two custom shows ("Slide Show" | "Custom Shows..." menu item) each
with the set of slides that you want corresponding to each checkbox.
2. Create two textboxes with the text you would put in the checkboxes.
3. Hyperlink one textbox to one of the custom shows and hyperlink the other
textbox to the other custom show.

This setup would enable you to click on a hyperlink to view a set of slides.
Also, unlike the checkbox method, this method would work in the free
PowerPoint Viewer too.

Let me know if you still want to use the checkbox method.
