Can Impress open a PowerPoint .pptm file and run the macros?
Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2017 10:16 pm
Hi all.
I'm a total newbie to Apache OpenOffice and just downloaded and installed OO 4.1.3 (Actually, I installed only the Impress module).
I have created a PowerPoint (MS Office 2010) presentation containing macros (.pptm file) and want people who do not have PP to be able to run the presentation with the macros.
So I wanted to try and use Impress as a free alternative for them.
When I open the .pptm file in Impress, I do not see the macros and they do not run when I run the presentation.
So my questions are:
1. Does Impress support the opening of a PowerPoint .pptm macro file and allow editing of the macros?
2. If so, how does one see and edit the macros in Impress (Possibly there is a setting that I do not have right.)
3. And if (1) and (2) can be done, then will I need to make changes to the macro code in Inpress, in order for the presentation to work properly?
Thanks.
Don
