Macro's not workin

[Ace Thunder]

I have put this into powerpoint and this nor any other macro i create works.
HELP please. ICT student needs your help

Sub slide17yes()
ActivePresentation.PrintOut From:=34, To:=34
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide (51)
End Sub

 

[Christopher King]

Ace,
The printout part worked for me. Here is some code from the help file
for running the slide show.

With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
.RangeType = ppShowSlideRange
.StartingSlide = 2
.EndingSlide = 4
.Run
End With

Hope that helps.

Did you check that macro security was medium or lower?
Are you running the macro by giving the textbox an action setting of run
macro " slide17yes"?

The macro code is fine.

 

[Ace Thunder]

yeah, i did all of that i made a textbox and gave both the actual box and the
words the action setting "Run Macro" then chose the "slide17yes" option. I
have also altered the macro security settings to "low"

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

After you alter the macro security settings to low (medium is OK too),
you have to close the PowerPoint and reopen it. If you opened the
PowerPoint with High security, it will not run macros until it is opened
again with Low or Medium.
