When we use PowerPoint (PPT) to make a slideshow or report, in order to let the listener know the current progress of the presentation, we can specially add a ” progress bar ” function to the PPT to display the progress bar directly at the bottom of the slideshow.So how do you insert a progress bar in the PPT?

PowerPoint (PPT) progress bar making teaching
We can quickly make PowerPoint (PPT) progress bars in three steps, and we don’t need to make animation effects slowly by ourselves.
Step 1. Macro
First, please open the PPT presentation, click ” View ” on the toolbar , and then click ” Macro “.
Then enter the macro name: ” progress bar “, and click the ” + ” below .
Step 2. Paste the code
At this point, you will see the two line codes Sub progress bar () and End Sub appear on the screen. We need to paste the code between these two lines.
Copy and paste the following code directly:
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
After pasting, it will look like the red box in the picture below. After confirming it is correct, please click ” Execute ” below .
Step 3. The PPT progress bar appears automatically
Now back to the PPT presentation, a progress bar will automatically appear at the bottom of each slide.

How to change the color of PPT progress bar?
The default progress bar is dark red, and if you want to be able to modify the color, just click ” View “> ” Macro “, then select ” Progress Bar ” and click ” Edit “.
Then find RGB(127, 0, 0) in this code , directly change the number to the RGB color code you want .
to sum up
Just use the “macro” function introduced in this article to add the code, you can quickly add a progress bar to the PPT presentation, and I recommend it to everyone to try.
