Macros

Are they useful in a Powerpoint presentation, what benefits would they bring?

RE: Macros

Hi Carole, thanks for your query. Macros can indeed be beneficial as they automate complex tasks. You could develop a macro which starts a dialog box and aids creation of individual slides. The user would enter text into the text fields in the dialog box and on pressing an "OK" button, the macro would populate the placeholders on the slide with the correct information. Macros open up the world of Visual Basic for Applications and we literally do entire courses on that!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Adding Slide Numbers in PowerPoint 2010

Here's how to number your PowerPoint 2010 presentation slides:

1) Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon
2) Click on the Slide Number button and the Header and Footer box will open
3) Select Options
4) Check the box for Slide number
5) Slide numbers will now automatically appear on all PowerPoint slides in the bottom right hand corner

The great thing about numbering your PowerPoint slides is that if you rearrange the slides into a different order PowerPoint numbers the slides again to display the new correct slide number.
