Automation of the creation of a progress bar in powerpoint, and an overview of the sections on each slide
This vba script will automatically create shapes in your powerpoint document that indicate the progression on the whole presentation as a progress bar, and an indication of the section your are currently in.
The only thing you have to do is to put in the notes of the slides the names of the sections with the following form "Section:title", title being the the title of the section for example Introduction. This information should be on the first line of the slide note, and everything that follows will be discarded in the program.
I did not want to have popup windows each time the script is called. This is why the parameters are written as constants in the code. To modify it, just change their values (colors, font, size, etc.).
You just have to open the script editor, create a new script and copy/paste the code in it. Then, each time you want to update the progress bar, just execute it. If a progress bar has already been inserted, it will be automatically removed.
