I am trying to use microsoft's own presentation narrator that allows a
msagent to speak a text from the notes page. (PRENAR) Presentations that work
fine in earlier versions put up a message saying there is nothing in the
notes page to execute- when clearly there is. There appears to be a problem
with vba in PowerPoint 2007. I am fully aware of how 2007 treats macros and
this is not the issue, the presentations are properly saved and with proper
permissions to enable macros, indeed some other simple macros work fine. I
have some other examples of macros no longer working as they should. In
essence macros are misbehaving is anyone else having problems and know what
the cause might be.

It's possible that the macro is looking for the default name of the notes text
shape on the slide, Rectangle 3.  In 2007 the default name is different it might
well appear to the macro that there's no notes text.

You could try renaming the notes text shape on a couple of your slides to
Rectangle 3 to see if that makes it work.

Add this macro to a presentation:

Sub TryMe()

   With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
       .Name = "Rectangle 3"
   End With
End Sub

Then go into Notes view, select the notes text shape and run the macro.

See if that fixes the problem.

If so, we can cobble you up another macro that renames all of the notes text
shapes in one go.
