Macros into PPT file

[Pete]

I'm sure this has been answered before but...
With MS Word you have the "organizer" under templates and add-ins
is there an equivalent with PPT?

I have some macros I use frequently. I stored them in a PPA file and
when I launch a new file I see that that add-in is checked but my macros
aren't there.

Macro security is set to low.

Not quite sure what I have done wrong (at this point I'm still blaming
myself)

TIA
Pete

Macros are handled quite differently between Word and PPT. Ah, but you've
worked that part out already, I'll bet. ;-)

If your PPA creates a toolbar with buttons for the macros you want to run, then
they'll always be available, but macros within a PPA never appear in the Tools,
Macros, Macro dialog box.

Have a look at the programming section of htp://www.pptfaq.com for more info on
creating addins and toolbars.
