Power Point Macros

[Guest]

I am working with PP 2003 and I have a macro that runs in my power point that
allows certain tables to link to an excel file. Recently the Macro has
stopped working and I get a message telling me that I need to enable the
Macros. I am not sure how to enable macros as a message never comes up asking
me to enable them. Does anyone know how to enable macros? I would appreciate
it greatly!

Go to the Tools menu and choose Options. Click on the Security Tab and then
the Macro Security button. Choose Medium or Low. With Medium it will ask
you to enable macros each time (preferred). With Low it will just run them.

I changed the security level to medium and when I go to run the macro the
"Run" button is grey and I am still unable to select it. Do you have any
suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Now, you have to close the presentation and open it again. The macro
security setting only takes effect upon opening the presentation.

Teresa,
You are no fool. How many times do you think I keep forgetting that
one?
