RE: Controls

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your question.

In MS Office 2007, the Developer Tab has replaced the Visual Basic & Control Toolbox toolbars in the older versions. It provides the tools for writing Visual Basic codes to automate some frequently used functions in the applications.

All the control icons are used to "draw" options on your file, combining with VBA code, you can use them to design a user-friendly interface and share the file with other users.

Hope this clears it up a bit.

Kind regards,

Katie Woo

Powerpoint tip:

Animating charts imported from Excel

Once you have imported an Excel chart into a Powerpoint slide, it is possible to apply animation to individual components (e.g. each bar) of the chart.

Click on the imported Excel chart, then go to Draw - Ungroup on the Drawing toolbar (usually located at the bottom of the screen).

A message will appear warning that ungrouping will change the chart into a different type of object - click Yes, then go to Draw - Ungroup again.

You should now see the chart has been broken up into all its individual components.

Right-click on a component that you wish to apply animation to; then select Custom animation and apply animation using the task pane on the right of the screen.
