Create custom tasks pane in powerpoint 2003

[Wecker]

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how can I create a custom tasks pane in PowerPoint 2003.
I have seen an example of creating such pane in PowerPoint 2007, using VSTO,
however PowerPoint 2003 doesn't seem to support that.

Thanks,

Wecker

No, it does not. You can try asking in the powerpoint newsgroup if anyone knows
an alternate approach. Some people have tried things like anchoring a UserForm
or WinForm over a toolbar, sized the same as the form to make it look like the
form is docked. But that's about as close as you can get.

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the reply. I think I will take the WinForm approach.
