This article was previously published under Q161595



SYMPTOMS
When opening an existing PowerPoint macro in the Visual Basic Editor, you may notice that your previously-defined watch expressions are missing.



CAUSE
This happens because the watch expressions are not saved in the presentation file. You must redefine the needed expressions for each macro editing session.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
The watch window is one of the debugging tools provided by the Visual Basic Editor. You can add expressions or variables to the watch window to monitor value changes during execution of a macro. The feature is most commonly used when stepping through source code.
