Conclusion
Creating a quiz in PowerPoint normally entails one of two approaches: the first is to learn VBA and code a quiz with responses, and the second one is to keep things simple, and create a basic quiz. Also some users tend to use Flash based products like Quizmaker or YawnBuster for the quizzes, thus ending up with an embedded Flash quiz on their PowerPoint slides.
While all these approaches get the task done, a specialized product like Atrixware's PowerPoint Quizmaker can help create quizzes that look like they were created in PowerPoint without having to spend long hours creating them.

Launch Microsoft PowerPoint. If you end up with a blank presentation that contains a single slide, delete the initial blank slide before you start working with PowerPoint Quizmaker 2009. Remember that although PowerPoint Quizmaker looks like it is working as a standalone program, you need have PowerPoint open so that the program can work properly.
Follow these steps to work on PowerPoint Quizmaker 2009:
PowerPoint Quizmaker 2009 costs $59.99 for a single user license, and is available as specially-priced multiple user licenses as well.
Support is through email, online FAQ, phone, and a user forum.
BackI like the fact that PowerPoint Quiz Maker does not add any extra non-PowerPoint stuff to my slides, and the price is right too. If it worked from inside PowerPoint as a full fledged add-in, that would be the icing on the cake.
