Create a macro in ppt 97 to open a new presentation

[Co]

Hi All,

I need to make a macro in powerpoint that opens a new presentation,
chooses a blanco slide and then clicks
cancel. However when there is no presentation opened I can't use the
macro recorder.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do, but why can't you record a
macro with the a presentation open? I get something like this doing wheat
I think you might have in mind (I'm using PPT 2003 so it might not be
exactly the same):

Sub Macro1()
Presentations.Add WithWindow:=msoTrue
ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=ActivePresentation.Slides.Add
(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutTitle).SlideIndex
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Layout = ppLayoutBlank
End Sub

Watch out for linebreaks introduced by the news system.

That's the whole point. I want to do this with no presentation opened,
just the ppt window.
I have the code under a floating button ad I want it to open a new
presentation.

Yes, but recording with a presentation open will help you get the code
you need. Then, if you want to run it without any presentation open, you
will need to incoroporate it into an add-in. See some information about
creating an addin here:
