VBA - show commandbar/button when presentation loaded.

[VbAGeek]

I have a lot of experience with Word VBA but I'm new to PowerPoint;

In Word it is possible to make a custom commandbar with buttons that are
only available in documents based on the template where you created the
commandbar.

- Can this be done in PP too? I either get the commandbar all the time or
never.
- Can I assign shortcut keys to macro's like in Word?
- Can I use AutoNew code like in Word?

Thanks for your advice.

CommandBars are not available per-presentation in PowerPoint. In PowerPoint
2007, QAT commands can be set per-presentation.

- Can I assign shortcut keys to macro's like in Word?

Buttons in menus can have the usualy Alt+<menu shortcut>+<button shortcut>
key combination. If you want more flexibility, look at Shortcut Manager for
PowerPoint add-in from http://officeone.mvps.org/ppsctmgr/ppsctmgr.html

- Can I use AutoNew code like in Word?

In PowerPoint, only add-ins can have the Auto* macros that get called
automatically. Macros in presentations get called only for user actions.
They do not get called automatically.
