Help please
I'm having problems with macros, I can record them & it
works fine on the item I've recorded it on, but when I try
to run it on a different object it doesn't run & I get a
message - run-time error- the item with the specified name
wasn't found, but when I've checked the macro is there,
anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong I'm using powerpoint
2003 & version 2000 at work where I've also tried it
Hope this makes sense to someone
 
Hi,
A recorded macro, always performs the operation with respect to the selected
shape at the point when the macro is being recorded, hence it refers to it
by it's name. All shapes have unique name hence when you try to run it for
another shape it will not work.

If you post the code here we'll be able to edit it and make it a generic
which would work with all shapes.
