SUMMARY
You can only use the Macro Recorder and the Visual Basic Editor when there is a presentation open. If you close all presentations and then click Macro on the Tools menu, all of the choices are unavailable (dimmed).

If you have the Visual Basic Editor open and close all open presentations, the Visual Basic Editor closes when you close the last presentation.



MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint stores macros and Visual Basic code in presentations. If there is no active presentation, there is no place to store the code. For this reason, PowerPoint disables these features when no presentation is open.
