The later versions of Powerpoint (I think starting from 2007) do not have a Macro Recorder anymore (victory of the Dark Side, I assume).	[reply]

Good point. It seems that the Macro Recorder still exists, but you have to enable it explicitly. At least that's how it works for me, but `$work` may have fiddled with the "default" settings of Office a bit too much.	[reply] [d/l]

It does not. Under the link you provide MS explains how to create and edit a macro, but not how to record one. This is a real nuisance because (at least in Excel) the Macro Recorder is the most efficient way to find out how something can be done in VBA.	[reply]

Microsoft Office 2007 still has the macro recorder, in ~~both~~ Excel ~~and PowerPoint~~. It's just a bit hidden. I don't know about later versions of Office though. Update: Sorry, I was wrong. PowerPoint might not have the record macro feature. If it does, I can't activate it.	[reply]
