Unregistered Controls

[Guest]

sHave a presentation that give the following message "some controls on this
presentation can't be activated.They might not be
registered on this computer". I have lowered the macro security, that didn't
change it. I looked at the available references but I'm not sure how to tell
which one(s) I'm missing for that presentation. The presentation runs, but I
run it from a link on a title slide and get the message.

Slides can include "controls" which might be for example the list boxes or
radio buttons that you can add using the controls toolbox in PPT itself. These
would be part of every copy of PPT, so they wouldn't provoke that message
unless the PPT installation is damaged, I don't think.

But look for other controls - embedded flash objects or the like. Presumably
it'd be an object that doesn't seem to do anything.

If no luck finding it, give a shout; maybe we can crank up a little VBA that'll
help you find the little devil.
