Macros in Powerpoint

How could macros best be used for working with powerpoint presentations?

RE: Macros in Powerpoint

Hi Rebecca

Thank you for your question.

The purpose of a macro is to get an application to execute/run a series of steps for you to achieve an end result. Macros are created to cut down the time taken to perform tasks that you are doing frequently to get the same end result.

In the 2007 version of PowerPoint the macro recorder has actually been removed. Any macros that you want to create in PowerPoint 2007 have to be written in VBA code.

Please refer to the following on the Microsoft web site:

PowerPoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
