You see that row of icons in the top orange title bar on macOS? That’s called the Quick Access Toolbar and we’ve got another free customisation file that you can download here to elevate your presentation creation productivity to new heights. You’ll see ‘controls’ in the Excel for macOS developer tab but these are Form Controls and again, ActiveX controls are not available there either. This is because ActiveX controls are built on a Windows-only technology and hence Microsoft cannot support this type of control on Office for macOS. It’s referred to as ‘lite’ because the controls group that you find on Windows is missing: You can now see the brand new Developer tab ‘lite’ in the ribbon: You can then navigate to the required folder and then drag it to the side bar to create a shortcut. *To access the ~/Library folder in Finder, click the Go button whilst holding the alt key and then click Library. If you’re not asked, you need to do this manually in System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Accessibility where you can tick the box next to PowerPoint: This is required for the script file to send keystrokes.

On a Windows PC in PowerPoint this tab is not visible by default, you have to go to the customisation settings to turn it on via File / Options / Customize Ribbon. The developer tab allows you to run macros in a file and develop them yourself. Move over to the Mac and you’ll be able to turn on the Mac Developer tab for both Excel and Word but it simply doesn’t exist for PowerPoint. If you’ve ever run or written a macro for PowerPoint, Excel or Word on a Windows PC you’ll probably be familiar with the Developer tab.
