copied!<p>Are you manually creating the ribbon with the buttons? I use the <a href="http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/CustomUIeditor.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Custom UI Editor Tool</a> and it works like a charm.</p> <ol> <li><p>Just create any macro in your .pptm, like this:</p> <pre><code>Sub SayHello(ByVal control As IRibbonControl) MsgBox "hello" End Sub </code></pre> <p>The <code>(ByVal control As IRibbonControl)</code> part is important. </p></li> <li><p>Then save and close your .pptm.</p></li> <li><p>Open the Custom UI Editor Tool. From that tool, click <strong>Open</strong> from the <strong>File</strong> menu and navigate to your .pptm and open it.</p></li> <li><p>On the <strong>Insert</strong> menu, click <strong>Office 2010 Custom UI Part</strong>. This will create a new XML document that will be inserted into your .pptm.</p></li> <li><p>You can then use sample snippets to start creating your ribbon, but the simplest is just from the <strong>Insert | Sample XML</strong> menu, just click on <strong>Custom Tab</strong>. This will insert:</p> <pre><code><customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui"> <ribbon startFromScratch="false"> <tabs> <tab id="customTab" label="Custom Tab"> <group id="customGroup" label="Custom Group"> <button id="customButton" label="Custom Button" imageMso="HappyFace" size="large" onAction="Callback" /> </group> </tab> </tabs> </ribbon> </customUI> </code></pre> <p>Where you see <code>Callback</code> in after <code>onAction</code>, replace it with the name of your macro. In our example above, it is <code>SayHello</code>, so it should now look like <code>onAction="SayHello"</code>.</p></li> <li><p>Click <strong>Save</strong> and then close the Custom UI Editor Tool.</p></li> <li><p>Open your .pptm in PowerPoint and test that a tab called <strong>Custom Tab</strong> has been created. Navigate to it and click on the happy face button. You should now get a message box.</p></li> <li><p>Go to the Backstage by clicking on <strong>File</strong> and click <strong>Save As...</strong> and then choose as the file type PowerPoint Add-in (*.ppam) and save it in any location. Note the location.</p></li> <li><p>Go to <strong>File | Options | Add-in</strong> and then select <strong>PowerPoint Add-ins</strong> from the <strong>Manage</strong> dropdown at the bottom of the dialog. Then click <strong>Go</strong>. Click **Add New...* and add your add-in from the location you saved it.</p></li> <li><p>Close PowerPoint and reopen it. The <strong>Custom Tab</strong> ribbon should be there. Click on the happy face icon to run your <code>SayHello</code> macro.</p></li> </ol> <p>The only thing you'll need to do beyond this is to customize your macros and ribbon controls they way you need them and for what you want them to do.
