im making a presentation that will be used in schools and it contains macros,
everytime the user opens the presentation a warning comes up saying 'this
presentation contains macros' and they have to click on enable all macros.
Is there a way of stoopping this message from popping up and making the
presentation always have macros enabled?

Select "Tools" | "Macro" | "Security..." menu item, select "Low" choice on
the "Security Level" tab, click OK. Restart PowerPoint. Now you won't get
the macro warning when you open presentations with macros in it. Make sure
that you read the warning associated with the "Low" choice, though.

cool thankyou. what about if someone views it on a different computer? is
there a way of making it never pop up on any computer or will each time its
put on a new computer the user will have to change the macro security?

They'll have to change it on each system.

Otherwise it would defeat the purpose -- even though you're honest, that
doesn't mean everyone creating a macro is...

No. Each user or computer admin will have to make the decision of whether to
run the risk of allowing macros to run w/o warning.

Why? Because someone could pretty easily write a macro that'd wipe out nearly
every file on your computer, all because you clicked a button in a PPT show.
This isn't something you want to allow.
