More than ‘just’ presentations.
We all know PowerPoint for its ability to create amazing, and yes, sometimes very dull presentations.
But it can do so much more. It can be used to create videos, e-learning and even marketing collaterals such as poster and flyers.
But this article is dedicated to VBA, or Visual Basic for Applications, and the power that this programming environment brings to to the PowerPoint table.
Demo time
So let’s get straight to a demo of a interesting use for PowerPoint, combining its excellent visual graphics design capabilities with a bit of VBA to make an interactive stopwatch!
