Powerful PowerPoint for Educators:
Using Visual Basic for Applications to Make PowerPoint Interactive
by David M. Marcovitz

Examples by Chapter

Click on the links below to find examples from the book. The examples are organized by chapter for Chapters 5 through 10. Chapters 1-3 do not include any VBA examples. Chapter 4 includes one simple example, and you should create this example on your own. If you cannot create this example on your own, you should review the preceding chapters.

Examples are available in three formats: Zip (.zip) format (widely available on Windows computers), Stuffit (.sit) format (widely available on Macs), text format (VBA code only). Stuffit Expander (http://www.stuffit.com/) is available for free and for both Macintosh and Windows platforms. It opens both Stuffit files and Zip files. Computers running Windows XP can automatically open Zip files. Earlier versions of Windows require a program, such Stuffit Expander or WinZip to open Zip files. Although Windows XP allows you to run Zip files without extracting, these examples will not work if they are not extracted (right click on the Zip file and choose Extract All) and if macro security is set to High.
