I've created a macro that adds the file name to the footer in PowerPoint. I
will add this macro to a template that many people will use. I want that
footer to be updated with the latest file name everytime the file is opened.
I would like not to have to rely on people remembering to run the macro
everytime they create or change a file. I'm really trying to duplicate the
functionality that both Word and Excel have. Can PowerPoint automatically run
a macro when the file is opened?

This may help:
