How to get custom VBA menus to work on Mac Office X or X 2003?

[Carl]

How can I create a custom menu in Macintosh Powerpoint X or later, that
runs my VBA macro?

On Windows, the "With ... Events" syntax will do it, but Microsoft
doesn't support "With ... Events" in its Mac versions of office.

Any other way to do that on the mac? Or are we stuck without custom
menus that run macros?

The links under it explain how to do it in Windows; the process is pretty much
the same for Mac PPT versions.

I couldn't find anything that can help me to make custom menu without
using events. Can you please give me some more information (links)
about it?

The links above explain how you can add new items to PowerPoint's menu bar or add
your own sub-items to existing menu items. These can invoke macros when clicked.

Using VBA, you do it the same way, PC or Mac, and neither requires With Events.

I'm not sure, then, what you need to do. Something beyond what I've just
described? If so, please explain in more detail. Thanks.
