Thanks so much for your kind words. I just love how this tech helps us break down language barriers. Enjoy your improved communication with your in-laws.

Yes, that sometimes happens. One way to solve this issue is to report back to ChatGPT the exact error message and line it happens and ChatGPT will generate corrected code. You might need to do this a few times until you get to the correct code. ChatGPT is getting better with code, but it's not perfect yet.

@@pitchcoach thanks sir for your response it will help inshallah ❤️

That's the fun part of magic! The big reveal will be even sweeter when you crack the code. Keep at it, and prepare for that "Eureka!" moment. 😉

😊

Glad you like it, Kayli!

Thanks for watching! Enjoy dazzling your audiences with this simple trick…they will love it as well!

Thanks, Yash! Glad you liked the trick…and yes, I didn’t reveal how it works to not spoil the fun of figuring it out.

Isn't it? Almost guaranteed to get attention of online audiences.

Good point! When I perform this trick as part of a presentation, I usually tell the audience that I’ll reveal how the trick works at the end. That way, they can relax, knowing the solution is coming up…and I get a fairly captivated audience.

Thanks, Kai! Glad you like the trick -- and yes, I didn't want to give away the solution. Once you download the deck, it becomes clear... 🙂

Sorry to hear this didn’t work for you. I recorded the video on a Mac, so it “should” work. Without more details about what specifically doesn’t work, it’s difficult to offer any solutions. What happens when you run the code you get from ChatGPT in PowerPoint?

Please take a look at the pinned post.

@@pitchcoach thanks bro I didn't see sorry 😞

Sorry to hear that. What specifically isn't working?

Hmm… Not sure what could be going on. Perhaps this article will help you open the VBA Editor: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/find-help-on-using-the-visual-basic-editor-61404b99-84af-4aa3-b1ca-465bc4f45432#:~:text=of%20your%20screen.-,PowerPoint,Click%20File%20%3E%20Options.

Turn on fn key

@@zeenatsaad187 yup by turning on fn key only it's going to sleep , without turning on fn key no changes happens .

I have had issues with the code automatically saving the file and then closing PowerPoint as well, so in my prompt I asked not to close the app and it omitted that piece of code.

Glad this came in handy…

@@pitchcoach Ok Man, thanks.

No sweat, Scottie! Thanks for watching the replay and thank you for supporting this program in so many ways. I truly appreciate you.

Thanks! And yes, I am...

I use Apple’s Keynote for my own presentation needs. I made this video because I was intrigued by ChatGPT’s ability to create VBA code, which can only be used with PowerPoint.

Not that I'm aware of. Here is a list of tools to translate video: filmora.wondershare.com/more-tips/video-translator.html

Indeed.

Glad you enjoyed it, Kai! What were some of your takeaways you got by watching it?

To see the bottom line in 2022 and how Tana with willpower, structured planning and gratitude changed successfully her way was very inspiring for my own way. As well the detailed description of the day of her TEDx speech. What she saw and what Tana felt. I could feel Tana's words vividly. By the way, your question about the takeaways leads me to self-reflection. Very good, Claudio 😊

Great takeaways, Kai. To me it was also the fact that Tara turned around her life in such a short time. So inspiring!

Thank YOU, Tara. This was such a great conversation, I could have gone on for a few more hours. Can’t wait to see the release of your new book. It’ll change how people prepare for TEDx.

Thank you Claudio and Tara for an inspiring conversation. I’m looking forward to watching the TEDx talk next. I agree that gratitude and confidence are linked. I think gratitude helps to keep us humble and relatable also. 😊

@@TatianaTeaches Love this! Thanks for tuning in today and watching my TEDx talk! Let me know how you like it and feel free to leave a comment on my talk with your favorite takeaway. 🤩

Thanks, @@TatianaTeaches, for watching and I agree about the humble and relatable effect of gratitude. You'll enjoy Tara's TEDx Talk...

@@TatianaTeaches Gratitude is indeed amazing! I’m glad my message resonated with you! If you are curious to learn more definitely watch my TEDx talk and check out my book, “How To GRASP Confidence & Own Your Power.” Thanks again for your support! ❤️

I'm not sure, so I asked ChatGPT the exact question you asked above. Here is the response: To limit a shape's movement to one axis in PowerPoint using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), you can indeed implement a solution, though it requires a bit of a workaround. PowerPoint itself doesn't have built-in properties or methods to directly restrict a shape's movement axis. However, you can achieve this effect by capturing the shape's initial position and then using event handlers to restrict its movement. Unfortunately, PowerPoint VBA doesn't support event handling directly for shape movements, but you can create a control mechanism to adjust the shape position during or after user interaction. Here's a conceptual approach: 1. Store Initial Position: First, you need to store the initial position (either the X or Y coordinate) of the shape that you want to restrict. You might do this at the time the shape is created or when your VBA script starts. 2. Create a User Interface Control: Since PowerPoint VBA doesn't directly allow for event handling related to drag-and-drop actions on shapes, you might create a simple user interface (like a UserForm with buttons) to move the shape sideways. This control will adjust the position of the shape programmatically based on user input, ensuring movement only along the desired axis. 3. Manual Adjustment with Immediate Window: As a simpler but more manual approach, instruct users to adjust the position via the Immediate Window in the VBA editor, providing them with a simple command to execute that moves the shape along the restricted axis. Here's a sample code snippet to demonstrate how you might programmatically adjust a shape's position along the X-axis (sideways movement only): Sub MoveShapeSideways() Dim shp As Shape Set shp = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("YourShapeName") ' Replace "YourShapeName" with the actual name of your shape Dim currentX As Single currentX = shp.Left ' Store current X position ' Adjust position ' Example: Move shape 10 points to the right shp.Left = currentX + 10 ' If you need to move it to the left, subtract from currentX ' shp.Left = currentX - 10 End Sub ``` Remember, the manual adjustment approach requires the user to run the VBA script each time they want to adjust the shape's position. This isn't as seamless as dragging the shape, but it ensures that the movement is restricted to one axis. Creating a more dynamic, event-driven model for this in PowerPoint VBA would be complex and potentially involve external applications or add-ins to monitor and respond to shape movements in real-time, which goes beyond typical VBA capabilities within PowerPoint.

Thanks a million for your in-depth response ! I will explore this solution 😊

Thank you for tuning in, @SilverheadFitness. Glad you found value in this episode.

I’m not sure and I don’t have a Windows machine to test it. What happens when you enter a name? You could also ask ChatGPT the same question and see if it has a good answer for you. Have fun playing with it!

Thanks for watching, Ellie. I always learn much when I talk with Tracy. Glad you found it valuable as well.

Thank you for joining, Tracy. We were definitely in The Zone today… Loved every moment of our conversation!

Not sure how this happens. Have you asked ChatGPT to generate a new code for you?

Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated…and I’m happy this works well for you.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Tatiana! Slido is indeed great in some situations. What I learned today is that you need a certain audience size for it to become really powerful. I love the word cloud feature.

Thank you!

Thanks so much, @LearnLivestreaming. I'm always curious: what was your biggest takeaway?

@@pitchcoach @thefacilitainer I think I need to use the Social Ninja Stream Emote wall more. But it was good to learn about Butter too.

@@LearnLivestreaming Awesome! Great takeaways. Social Stream Ninja is definitely lots of fun. And yes, check out Butter. So playful; so engaging…

​@@LearnLivestreaming The Emotewall is pretty easy to set up. And it does not have to be as much as I did in this showcase. Maybe just a small area or somewhere in the background ...

Great fun indeed. Thank *you* for making it so…

You're welcome...and thank *you* for your uplifting message. 😊

Feed the error back to ChatGPT and ask it to fix it. Be specific with the error message and line it happens and hopefully you'll get a working code. Good luck!

Glad you found it useful. 🤓

Wonderful takeaway from this episode, @SilverheadFitness. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, especially the vulnerability bit was something that hit home for me. I’m often still hesitant to display vulnerability openly.

Indeed. I never thought of this before. Makes lots of sense.
