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:

Quick Zooming in Powerpoint with rollerball mouses

Zooming in powerpoint works slightly differently than with word and excel. When you hold down the control key and roll the wheel up and down in will go through the zoom sizes up until 66% which you can choose from the zoom box, but after that it starts jumping up at 25%, 50% and then 100%.

TIP - if your cursor is not on the slide and in the slide/outline pane then when you zoom using CTRL it will zoom that pane instead.
