Adding a progress bar to powerpoint presentation








To view the progress of a power point presentation, a progress bar can be displayed at the bottom of the slide show.

How to proceed


Once the slideshow done, go to Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor.

In the opened window, select Insert>Module and copy the below text in the blank page: 

  Sub AddProgressBar() 
    On Error Resume Next 
        With ActivePresentation 
              For X = 1 To .Slides.Count 
              .Slides(X).Shapes("PB").Delete 
              Set s = .Slides(X).Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, _ 
              0, .PageSetup.SlideHeight - 12, _ 
              X * .PageSetup.SlideWidth / .Slides.Count, 12) 
              s.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(127, 0, 0) 
              s.Name = "PB" 
              Next X: 
        End With 
End Sub



Then go to File > Close > Return to Microsoft PowerPoint .
