MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Enable/Disable Macros in PowerPoint
Can anyone describe to me what exactly this message is referring to when I open up certain PowerPoint files? I commonly get it when I try to open up a PPT file that uses the ActiveX control for Flash. Is it asking me if I want to allow PPT to use the Control for Flash? Thanks. > Can anyone describe to me what exactly this message is referring to when I > open up certain PowerPoint files?

Tell us exactly what the message says, we'll give it our best shot. Otherwise, we're shooting in the dark. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ It's a message that I get when I first open up a PowerPoint document. The message that is stated is: "Macros may contain viruses. It is always safe to disable macros, but if the macros are legitimate, you might lose some functionality." I'm just trying to get a better concept to what this actually means. I am loading .swfs onto PPT slides, and I think that the ActiveX Flash Control has something to do with it, but not 100% sure. > It's a message that I get when I first open up a PowerPoint document.

OK, thanks. Open one of these presentations, tell it OK when it barks at you about macros, then press F11 to open the VBA editor. Click the + next to the presentation's name and see if there are any modules listed below that. Those would contain macros. If you see Slides listed, those would be slides with ActiveX controls of one sort or another. If there are only controls/Slides and you're sure they're just your ActiveX controls, then you don't need to worry about macros, it's just the controls making PPT go "Woof". ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ It's a message that I get when I first open up a PowerPoint document.

Try right clicking on the control > view code. If there is any code and youre not using it - delete and resave, see if that helps  Signatureemail john AT technologytrish.co.uk Improve your skills - http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html Need a dice throw for a ppt game?- http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/dice.html > It's a message that I get when I first open up a PowerPoint document.
