SUMMARY
Macros that are a part of your presentation function normally when you use PowerPoint 97, 98, 2000, 2001, or 2002 to view your presentation. However, when you use Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 97 for Windows, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 Viewer, or Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 98 Macintosh Edition to view your presentation, action settings that are linked to VBA macros do not function at all.



MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint Viewer 97 for Windows, PowerPoint 2003 Viewer, and PowerPoint Viewer 98 Macintosh Edition are not designed to execute PowerPoint VBA macros.
