Handout Wizard

[Bruna]

Hello: I went to http://skp.mvps.org/how/install.htm and downloaded the
Handout Wizard. When I try to follow the instructions for a) and b)

a) Click on Tools | Add-ins to bring up the add-ins window.

b) Click on Add to bring up the 'Add New PowerPoint Add-in' dialog box.
Navigate to the folder where Handout Wizard files were installed and select
the Add-in file (HOW.ppa) and click on OK.

I encounter a problem - all works well up to the point where I click on Add
to bring up the Add New PPT Add-in" and then I don't see anything that I can
add. I tried navigating to where the installed file is but I can't see it
from inside this dialog box.

I am very curious to try this new feature to create better handouts and
would appreciate any help. I have Windows XP and PPT 2003.

Many thanks.

Hi Steve: I downloaded the HOWSETUP.EXE and double clicked on the program. I
followed the instructions for installing it and then when I get to the
PowerPoint and select, Tools, Add-in, and Add the New PPT Add-ins, I can't go
any further. It doesn't allow me to "see" the file in order to add it. It
doesn't even allow me to change the "Files of type", i.e. it shows only
"PowerPoint Add-In" which is what I need anyway, but I thought perhaps
changing this would allow me to add this particular file -- what you said
makes sense, but it's not working. Don't know what else I need to do. Very
frustrating. I have a hunch this is a very cool add-in.

Thanks.

Hi Steve: The problem is that I am unable to browse to the folder where it
is. I have it saved on the desktop. But when I click the Add the New PPT
Add-ins, it is not allowing me to view the desktop where the file is. Very
odd!

Hi again Steve. I tried to save it elsewhere and it didn't help. I then ran
the exe file and installed it in Program Files, Shyam Pillai. So when I went
to tools and clicked the add-in, I browsed until I found it in Program File,
Handout Wizard. There I could see a) Layout Templates and b) HOW - I
double clicked on the HOW to add it but the instant I do that, I am taken
right out to the blank Add-in box again and have to restart.

Thank you for staying with this. I hope this wizard is worth the trouble!

Thanks.

Hi Steve: Thanks for your response. I tried Alt and F11 and I do get the
VBA...

I wanted to follow your other recommendation about checking the macro
security setting but I am afraid that we are now entering an arena that is
beyond my technical know-how ... how do I do accomplish this step?

Many thanks.
