powerpoint toolbars

[anonymous]

Is there a way to creat global powerpoint macros that can be attached
to a toolbar and is available to all presentations?

Yes, but you'll need to create an add-in to do that.

Start looking here:

Works Great. However is there a way to tell it to "dock" the tool bar
on the right side of the powerpoint window?

When creating the toolbar or afterwards, set its .Position property

With Application.CommandBars("YourToolbarName")
.Position = msoBarRight
End with

You might want to do this the first time you create the toolbar, or even every
time you start PPT if it's for your own use. If it's for other users, docking
it once isn't unreasonable, but if you override the user's choice in docking
every time PPT starts, they'll say very unpleasant things about you behind your
back. Or even in front of it. ;-)
