How to share macros in powerpoint 2007?

[proshop]

Hi all,

I have a .ppt file with macro in it(not created by me). Basically its a
simple macro that has a pop-up box and allows a user to choose a title for
the header and footer and inserts them into the slides.

I have no problem running the macro via "view > macros > Run ..." from the
original .ppt file.

However, the question is, how am I able to share this macro with other users
running office 07?

I have managed to solve a similar issue with excel 2007 by saving the macro
file as an Add-in, then import the Add-in to excel 2007, created a customize
button for the macro under "Excel options > Customize > Choose commands from

Macros". It works nicely and each time I open a new excel document or an

existing one, I can simply click on the button to run the macro which inserts
the header and footer.

I like to do the same for powerpoint but after I've installed the Add-In, I
can't see the macro listed under "Powerpoint Options > Customize > Choose
commands from > Macros"

What can I do the share the macro with other users running office 2007?

Please advice.

I'm trying to do the same thing. I can write add ins with VSTO and VS 2008
but I'd like to be able to use macros.

The article you reference seems to be specific to PP 2003. Among other
things, I assume you load the ppa or ppam through the Addin window of the
Office button but there is no option for those two extensions. It looks like
they want exclusively exe or dll.

Am I missing something?

D'uh! I found it. It's under PowerPoint Add-ins, an only completely obvious
choice.

Thanks for the understanding.

While we're on the subject, I'd like to do the same thing but with the
ribbon, tabs, and groups. That is, create an addin, share macros, and access
them through ribbon tab. Is this possible?
