A set of add-in macros was developed using Microsoft Office Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for Microsoft (MS) PowerPoint. MS PowerPoint is commonly used for presentation as it provides animation capability. However, there are limitations on using it for animation of logic circuits. The development provides convenience and ease of use for the animation process. With the developed add-in macros, users can present a set of logic circuits using the slideshow feature of MS PowerPoint to perform logic gate simulations. It allows the users to input the logic value and animate the result. This will be a useful teaching aid for the lecturers teaching Digital Electronic modules.
