Errata
As I discover errors, updates, and clarifications, I will list them here.
- Page 81
The printer left out the "not equal" symbol in the AddPlants and AddAnimals
procedures. The fifth line (beginning with If) of each procedure should read
If newStuff <> "" Then
See Example 6-7 for the complete correct example.
- Pages 81-82
This is not an error but a note. In PowerPoint 2003, if you create a text box, but
do not add any text to it, the text box will disappear. This can be problematic for the Signs of Spring
example. You must have something in your text boxes after you create them. If you set up your slide
just like the picture on page 82, you can have the first line of the text box be a blank line. Even
a blank line will fool PowerPoint into keeping the text box around.
- Page 128
The MakeNotDirty procedure is incorrect. It should read:
Sub MakeNotDirty ()
ActivePresentation.Saved = True
End Sub
See Example 8-6 for the complete correct example.
- Pages 139-142
The Printable Page example is not incorrect; however, if you use the RightAnswer
and WrongAnswer procedures on page 136 (as suggested), you will need to add
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next
at the end of the RightAnswer and WrongAnswer procedures. Otherwise, only the last answer chosen
will be printed with the results (although scoring will be correct).
See Example 8-11. Alternatively, adjust the code for
RightAnswerButton and WrongAnswerButton as shown in
Example 8-12, where only the first answer is recorded for the
results slide.
