How to assign a Macro to a customized toolbar in a Template Docume

[afrancoj]

Hello all... I have an "interesting" problem that is driving me crazy...

I have a template in Powerpoint (.pot) and I have a procedure that creates a
customized toolbar and asignes macros to some of the buttons in the toolbar.

If I am working in the template document the toolbar works just fine and the
macros are executed.

However when I create a new document from the template (Document1) and I
click on the buttons, nothing happens. I have set breakpoint in the code but
the code looks like is never executed.

What could be the problem?

Thanks for the help,

Andres

Hi Andres,

I think perhaps you're expecting PowerPoint to work like Word or Excel in the
way it allows you to run code automatically from a template. It doesn't.

To do what you want, you'll have to create an Add-in.
Start here:
