Introduction
Creating a presentation can be hard. Especially the initial part. This workflow gets you going from nothing to a full presentation in powerpoint in a couple of minutes from which you can start adding styles and extra content.
Step 1: Open the Visual Basic Editor
Windows:
Go to Developer1 > Visual Basic
Mac:
Go to Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor
Next insert a Module: Insert > Module
Step 2: Ask SlackGPT to do your homework
Next up we are going to ask SlackGPT to generate a Visual Basic script that will generate a presentation for us. This is mostly Prompt engineering.
Wether you know or you don’t know your presentation out-line your prompt should probably start with something like this:
Generate VBA script in PowerPoint that on execution generates slides.
The Topic of the slide deck is: [The benefits of having ChatGPT do you work]
The length of the slide deck is: [Minimum of 10 slides]
Think like a C# developer that is trying to save his job by giving this presentation
make sure to generate sub points on all the slides
Run the script.
Step 3: Style it
All that is left is to style your slides, if you don’t have a house-style design you can use the Integrated feature of PowerPoint “Designer” that should be located on the Home Ribbon.
If you don’t see the Developer “Ribbon” follow these steps:
- Go to File > Options
- Customize Ribbon
- Main Tabs > Developer
- Ok
