Question

In Office 2003 if I recall correctly you had a ‘record macro’ option.

In PowerPoint 2007, under View->Macros, you get a macro box. None of the options are ‘record’. If you put in a name, you can select ‘create’, but that takes you to the VB editor. If you edit the slide manually, it does not generate the VBA code.

You do not have the option of defining VBA code by a sequence of keystrokes/mouseclicks/whatever.

Answer 1

It seems you are out of luck What happened to the macro recorder?

I have since read:

Contrary to what Microsoft says, use the legacy keyboard commands Alt+T, M, R to start the macro recorder in Powerpoint 2007, and use the same keyboard combination to stop recording.
