PowerPoint2007 macros...

[lfisher1]

Hello,
I am now semi- decent at writing excel vba code by now so I thought writing a quick one in PPT would be cake. Unfortunately, it seems to be somewhat different. What I am trying to do is simply make the border for every image on every slide 4.5 point. The batch import (photo album) will only do 3 point - and I have hundreds of images!
Any help would be seriously appreciated!!!! I don't have any code - I'm not even sure where to start aside from sub and end sub.... thanks again

I usually start learning the code by recording a macro, doing what you want to do and then expand from there. I have only used code once in powerpoint, but it was years ago. I would start by recording a macro doing what you want to do and then post that code or try to build from that.

Hope that helps.

Hey,
Thanks, really, but I'm pretty sure 2007 will not let you record a macro in PPT - and I don't have an older version of PPT. If you know of a way to record a macro in '07 please let me know! - thanks!

hmmm... Interesting that you cannot record macros in PowerPoint 2007. There is an article here that recommends a third-party software for recording macros, but I as well don't have access to a previous version at the moment to even be able to start code for you:

There also seems to be some great resources here as far as creating them and everything.

Hope that helps some.
