running a macro on slide load

I've written a macro that reads data in from a text file and puts it into a specific text box in the slide. I want to be able to set the macro to run "on slide load" to refresh that data when the slide opens. Is it possible - it seems pretty well hidden if it is. I am using powerpoint 2002 (office XP) on windows 2000.
 
You will need to create an add-in to fire your initialization routine. Take
a look at this free add-in Auto Events - http://www.mvps.org/skp/aevents.htm

I'm having a little trouble with the auto events add-in - are there any examples around because it doesnt seem to be running on slide load. perhaps it is my syntax...
 
OK, its not me being stupid. That example file doesn't work for me either. Each macro runs individually if i select from the macro menu and the addin is loaded and selected. Macro security is set to low. Any ideas?
