Powerpoint macros stop working

[matt_1234]

I bet this is simple but it has me baffled.

I am creating a powerpoint presentation which includes several screen grabs. These need to be resized, cropped and positioned consistently on the page. To this end, when I manipulated the first image, I recorded a macro. I named it a1. Next slide, I inserted the next image, selected it, and then 'alt-F8 return' replayed the macro perfectly. So far, so good.

The problem is, after I saved and exitted the presentation, I realised I needed to add several more images. I open the presentation and insert the images as before but now the macro won't run (in fact 'run' is greyed out).

What has happened and how do I fix it?

this could be as simple as lowering the 'security' setting in powerpoint

have a look at

Tools menu > macro > security - try lowering the setting

then re-open your presentation
