Customize your outline for print by expanding or collapsing it (PowerPoint 97/2000/2001/2002)
The next time you want to print the basics from your presentation without printing all of your slides, try printing just your outline. You can distribute your outline as handouts, use it as notes to yourself while rehearsing or presenting the slide show, or share it with your peers to quickly update them about your slide show. To print an outline, open your presentation in PowerPoint, and then click either the Normal View or Outline View buttons, or expand the Outline pane if you're using PowerPoint 2002. If you want to print only your slide titles, click the Collapse All button on the Outline toolbar. To print the body content of a particular slide while keeping everything else collapsed, position your insertion point in the title of the slide and click the Expand button. If you want to print everything in your outline, click the Expand All button. Once you've formatted your Outline view the way you want it to appear on the printed page, choose File | Print from the menu bar. Finally, select Outline View from the Print What dropdown list in the Print dialog box, and then click OK.
Create circle-shaped forms With just a few APIs (Visual Basic 6)
If you're tired of bland, square forms, you're in luck. You can take the edge off your forms literally, with the CreateRoundRectRgn() and SetWindowRgn() API functions. The CreateRoundRectRgn() function generates a shaped area for the form. The SetWindowRgn() function uses the shaped area to clip the form. You'll declare these two functions in the global declarations section of a new Windows application using the following code:
Private Declare Function CreateRoundRectRgn _
Lib "gdi32" (ByVal X1 As Long, ByVal Y1 As Long, _
ByVal X2 As Long, ByVal Y2 As Long, ByVal X3 As _
Long, ByVal Y3 As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetWindowRgn Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hRgn As Long, _
ByVal bRedraw As Long) As Long
Then, set the form's ScaleMode property to Pixel and place the next set of code in the form's Paint() event:
Dim hRegion As Long
Me.Cls
hRegion = CreateRoundRectRgn(0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, _
Me.ScaleHeight, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight)
Me.DrawWidth = 5
SetWindowRgn Me.hwnd, hRegion, True
When you execute the program, Visual Basic displays the form in the shape of a circle.
