Wednesday, June 17, 2009 – Permalink – VBA Variable ProblemsExplicit protectionIt's good practice to always use the Option Explicit statement in the beginning of your code modules to ensure that all variables are unambiguously declared in your procedures. With this process in place, you'll receive a "Variable not defined" error if you try to execute code containing undeclared variables. Without this statement, it's possible to mistype variable names, which would be interpreted as new Variant type variables. This could severely impact the results of your code, and you might not ever know it. If you do find a problem, tracking down where the error is can be a chore. Although you can manually type the statement into your modules, changing a setting in Access can ensure that the statement is always added to new modules.

Saturday, June 06, 2009 – Permalink – PowerPoint AccesabilityMake it easy for everyoneWhen a PowerPoint show is converted to a web presentation, it is not compatible with a screen reader. Here are some suggestions that will help make your show more available. "People who use screen readers will need to have the slides in HTML format in order to access them. This is the only format that can be considered reliably accessible to the various brands of screen readers on the market. Some screen readers can read PowerPoint slides on the Web to some degree, but not well enough to be considered truly accessible.

Tuesday, June 02, 2009 – Permalink – PowerPoint Bloats WordDiet tipsFor various reasons, it can be helpful to send a PowerPoint show to Word. You can have great looking handouts and be able to format the document in ways that are not possible in PowerPoint. The problem can be the size of the resultant file. One of the easier, more practical ways to slim the doc down is to break the OLE links. The size of a Word document may be 20 to 50 times larger than a PowerPoint presentation when you send the presentation to Word.Support.microsoft.com Size of Word Document See all Topics powerpoint Labels: Tips, Troubleshoot <Doug Klippert@ 3:12 AM

Friday, May 22, 2009 – Permalink – Cost of a Bad ShowAvoid wasting time and resourcesA bad PowerPoint presentation doesn't even make for good nap time. Some one is always jabbering about something. Dave Paradi has written an article about this problem. "If we assume some relatively conservative meeting parameters of four people per presentation, a half-hour presentation on average and the wasted time due to a poor presentation is one-quarter of the presentation time, we arrive at a waste of 15 million person hours per day. At an average salary of $35,000 per year for those attending the meeting, the cost of that wasted time is a staggering $252 million and change each day." Bad PowerPoint costs money He also provides a formula to figure out how much is lost in a sea of gradient blue. See all Topics powerpoint Labels: Presentation, Tips <Doug Klippert@ 3:32 AM
