Powerpoint

Hi Naomi

Thank you for your question. Macros are great for automating complex or time-consuming activies within PowerPoint. You can record a new macro by going to Tools > Macro > Record new macro. Give your macro a name (no spaces and must start with a letter). Carry out the task you would like to repeat using the macro. When you have finished go back to Tools > Macro and choose stop recording.

Now you can run the macro and repeat the steps whenever you want by going to Tools > Macro > Macros, choosing the macro you wish to run from the list by clicking on it then choosing Run.

You may find the following article by Microsoft of assistance.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
