Macros not available

[pjd]

I bought a new computer with Office2003 installed on it. I later installed
an upgrade version of Powerpoint2003, since I already had the XP version.
All updates have been applied .

I cannot create macros in Powerpoint even tho security is set to low. I
have no problem creating macros in the preinstalled Word and Excel. I have
tried all of the suggestions on the help page, but nothing works. Under
tools, macro, all menu options awre grayed out except the security option.

I'm running McAfee, Spy-bot, and Spy-Sweeper.

Maybe when you installed powerpoint you didnt install vba support. Try a
reinstall and make sure you do a full install. (I think vba is in office
shared features)

Did that answer the question / help?

THanks for the quick response. I also e-mailed gateway andthey suggested
that I download your office2003 Windows Install Cleanup. I did that and
deleted and reinstalled the Powerpoint. It works now. I'd reinstalled and
several times previously with no success.
