How to Write a Macro in PowerPoint 2007
Your Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 software can do a lot more than create and display visual presentations. Macros are input commands or functions that act as shortcuts to multiple functions. After you place the HTML code into the Visual Basic Editor, you can choose to use the commands by clicking on their respective buttons on the main toolbar. With more than 200 commands, users can create a simple macro in PowerPoint to automate a dreary task.
