SYMPTOMS
If you record a macro to move a command bar to a specific location, the
macro recorder does not record any commands. However, you can record
commands to turn on, turn off, remove, or add a command bar.
CAUSE
When you record a macro, the macro recorder attempts to analyze the actions
and then create the equivalent Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
code. The CommandBar object is a portion of the Microsoft Office 97 object
model. PowerPoint does not record code for objects that are not a part of
the PowerPoint object model.
RESOLUTION
In PowerPoint 97 all of the toolbars--Standard, Formatting, Drawing, and
so forth--in the object model, are part of the CommandBars and
CommandBarControls collections. Using the Visual Basic Editor, you can
write Visual Basic for Applications code to control the behavior of the
CommandBars.
For more information about the CommandBar object, click the Office
Assistant in the Visual Basic Editor, type
CommandBar, click Search, and
then click to view "Using command bars."
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the
Standard toolbar. If the Assistant is not able to answer your query, please
