i am creating a graphic organiser (a-la inspiration) in
powerpoint. I have created customised menus and deploy
them via a macro, and remove them via a macro. Because
the file will be used on many different machines I want
to be able to load and run the macro automatically on
starting the program (yes i know it can be done via
action settings in slideshow).

So far i have explored Application level event handlers,
add-ins which do use an auto_open macro; but i haven't
been able to get things working as yet. I have event
looked at modifying the pif to no avail.

Can this be done? please help
 
Hi,

I've been using an addin with auto_open macro for the same
purpose and it runs fine.
Maybe your addin is not loading properly. How do you load
the addin? Check out Shyam's FAQ on addins at:

Hope that helps.

Purvi
