"Hi my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to use Macros in PowerPoint. Lets open up PowerPoint. Click on your start menu, go into all programs. We are going to find Microsoft office and we are going to open up PowerPoint. This is a default slide that PowerPoint comes up with when you open it. Lets insert an image onto there by going to insert, picture, lets say from file. Lets go and find a picture here and say insert. There's my picture and we are going to create a macro that runs on this picture. Lets go to tools, macros and say record new macro. I'm going to name this macro resize image. I'm going to say ok. Lets take this image and resize it and then click on the stop button. What we've just done is create a new macro that can quickly resize an image that we drop into PowerPoint. That way we don't have to resize them ourselves manually every time. So lets put another image on there. From file. And now I'm going to run my macro on this picture. Just go to tools, say macro, and then click on macros. We are going to select resize image. And just say run. You'll notice that my image is just been resized. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to use macros in PowerPoint."
