I started digging into the objects in PP and tested your sub and now see your problem. &nbsp;I went through all of the objects and found five associated to PP. How about this?<br />
<br />
Sub DieFloatiesDie()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Office.MsoBarPosition.MsoB<wbr />arFloating<wbr /> = 0<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
The default is set to 4.<br />

craigdev,

I started digging into the objects in PP and tested your sub and now see your problem.  I went through all of the objects and found five associated to PP. How about this?

Sub DieFloatiesDie()
    Office.MsoBarPosition.MsoBarFloating = 0
End Sub

The default is set to 4.

In powerpoint, above the right click context menu there is another menu called the Floaties menu or Mini Toolbar.<br />
<br />
How do you disable this menu? It can be achieved in Word and Excel with a macro that sets:<br />
<br />
Options.ShowFloatiesMenu = False<br />
<br />
However, this option is not available for PowerPoint. How else can it be done in PPT, and why not as above?

Microsoft Development

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
