Macro v master slide?

Why do use the macro format to create automated repetition when you can just use the master sheet?

Are there any benefits?

RE: Macro v master slide?

Hi Amy. That depends what your automated repetition involves. This could be a reformat you have saved as a macro to use on autoshapes or text scattered through the presentation, the insertion of a table with a certain number of tables and rows, the list is endless. Essentially, the main difference is one of flexibility. Anything on the master sheet (such as a footer) gets repeated on every slide, any set of actions saved as a macro can be repeated where you specify.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
