How-to Guide
1. View code linked to a control
Feature entry: top Developer tab → View Code
- Select the control that has already been inserted.
- Click the Developer tab at the top of the window.
- Find and click View Code.
- Open the VB editor and go to the code for that control.
- In the project pane on the left, choose the module you want to edit.
- In the code pane on the right, write or revise the code.
- Press F5 to run a test.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: the code editor opens and shows the code location related to the current control.
- Next action available: you can continue selecting modules, editing code, and running tests.
- No unwanted side effect: the original presentation remains open so you can return to content editing.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: if the control is not selected first, you may not jump directly to the related code location.
- Environment note: if the macro environment is unavailable, code viewing or later test runs may be affected.
- Safety tip: back up the presentation before changing code, and review code purpose and safety before running code written by others.
