Bryan,

You didn't type anything into the question box. It's hard to tell from the
subject alone what you need to know. Please reply with a bit more detail (and
mention your PPT version)

Sorry Steve, I'm not sure why there was nothing in the question box, I'm
pretty sure there was a question in there when it left me.

Anyway, what I was trying to do, using PPT 2003, was to record a macro which
would apply a certain animation effect (horizontal blinds) to a selected
object (in this case a chart) on a slide.

Having started the Macro Recorder as normal after first preselecting the
object, I clicked on Slide Show - Custom Animation then in the Custom
Animation dialog I clicked Add Effect and chose Entrance - Blinds. I then
stopped the Macro Recorder.

I could see from the screen that the Blinds effect had been applied but when
I viewed the Macro I found that absolutely nothing had been recorded.

I have recorded many other macros in PPT over the years and have never
experienced anything like this. Perhaps I am doing something wrong though, so
any advice you can give would be much appreciated.

Hi Bryan,

No worries about the missing question ... it happens sometimes for reasons unknown.

This same thing came up a bit ago in this NG. Here's a link to the thread:

rnum=1&hl=en#5863d89f3e8025b4

If that misbehaves, just type this into Google:

powerpoint record animation rindsberg

In fact, that'd be better ... it'll lead you to a couple of different threads with
different ideas.
