Help
I'm trying to run a macro in a presentation, I can record
the macro but when I go to run it on another object it
wont run. I'm highlighting the picture etc,going to tools
record macro, applying animation, stop recording & then
when I want to run the macro on another picture or object
it doesn't run, anyone any ideas where I'm going wrong,
I've tried reducing the security level etc, any advice
would be appreciated
 
Can you copy and paste the code that the macro is recording here? That
might give us a better clue as to what is going wrong.

If all you are doing is setting the animation on an object, you might be
able to set the animation, click on another object and choose Redo from
the Edit menu. I don't know if it will work, but it is worth a try.

PPT 2003 Macro recorder does not generate any code for the animation
properties. You will have to write it yourself.

Hello,

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how to
make this easier to do in PowerPoint, don't forget to send your feedback
(in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
