When running a macro that contains a breakpoint following a slide show, the macro stops running when the slide show ends. If you remove the breakpoint, the code after the slide show executes.

This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures.

The following sample code demonstrates this problem. The lines after the second SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.Next command are ignored if a breakpoint is set. If no breakpoints exist in the code, all commands within the sample are executed. Sub Test

' Initialize and then start a slide show. With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings .ShowType = ppShowTypeSpeaker .LoopUntilStopped = msoFalse .ShowWithNarration = msoTrue .ShowWithAnimation = msoTrue .RangeType = ppShowAll .AdvanceMode = ppSlideShowUseSlideTimings .PointerColor.SchemeColor = ppForeground .Run End With

' Goes to the next slide. SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.Next

' Goes to the next slide. SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.Next

' This code is ignored if a breakpoint is set on this line. Windows.Item(Index:=1).Activate   '<-- Put breakpoint here
