When I save macros in Powerpoint, leave the program, and later come back, I
cannot use the saved macros. They show up when I press alt-F8, but when I
choose them, I'm taken to the Visual Basic program for de-bugging. Thus,
every time I come back to a saved file I have to redo my macros. Isn't there
a way to save them so when I come back they'll work?

Click to expand...

Is the presentation that contains the macros open at this point?
What exactly do you do after pressing Alt+F8? Step by step.

When you choose Alt+F8 there are several options in the dialog box.
You should be able to select the macro you want then click RUN.

If there's a bug in the code and you choose Debug at the error message, then
you'll land in the VB editor by design.
 
Hi Cliff,

It sounds like you have not set your Macro security correctly. Try opening
just PowerPoint, adjusting the Macro security to Medium, close PowerPoint,
then open the presentation that you have the macros in.

You should get a warning about using macros. If you click OK, then they
should run.

For more information on Macros and security, you may want to read the MS
