Introduction
• This PowerPoint has several useful Macros attached to it.
• STEPS:
1. Go: Start >> Programs >> Microsoft Office >> Tools >> "Digital
Certificate for VBA Projects”
• This runs a program called “SelfCert.exe”
(which lives in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Cert.exe)
2. For certificate name type something like “MyCertificate”. Click OK.
• You have just created your first “digital certificate”, and you can use this
to sign VBA Projects.
3. Open the VB editor window and make sure the module/file you want
to sign is open/selected.
• To get to here you can shortcut click [Alt+F11] from PowerPoint.
4. Click: Tools >> Digital Signatures >> Choose. Select the certificate
you just created. OK your way out and save your file.
• The next time you open this particular file you shouldn’t get any
warnings.
Final Words
• Visual Basic is a babyish language, but hey – Macros
are cool! Macros can save you lots of time doing by
automating repetitive tasks.
