could you give me a practical use for Macros that you might use across Powerpoint, in word and/or excel also? thanks.

Dear Jonathan

I am not very clear what the question is related to but from what I understand is that you want to know which macros can be created in Word, Excel and PowerPoint that are common.

If that was your question then the answer is that all the three packages have various different features. Any actions that you can think that are common such as File Page Setup, Basic Formatting , etc.. are some of the Macros which will be common for all the packages.

However, if your question was about if the macros can be shared between all the three packages then I'll have to refer you to one of the trainer who know VBA coding because I don't have adequate understanding of VBA to answer that specific query.

Please let me know if the query was more about sharing macros so that I can ask one of my colleagues who is more experienced in this field can help you!!

If this posting has helped in answering your query then I would request you to mark the posting as Resolved. If, however, it hasn’t and you need further clarification then please press the reply button and ask for further clarification with your specific question. In case you have a related question then please as the question as a separate posting.

Kindest Regards
