i have a macro that setups up the view of their presentation for a user as they desire...

for example , they want to always see the normal view with consistent slide pane and notes pane sise

the macro code for that part is

With ActiveWindow

 .ViewType = ppViewNormal

 .SplitHorizontal = 12

 .SplitVertical = 65

End With

however, the user want to also see the "animations pane" and set it's width to a particlar size...

is there some vba code that can accomplish this?

thanks in advance

    For control of task panes, you need to write a COM or Office.js add-in. VBA is generally not being expanded to cover new features of Office like task panes or the backstage.

    Hi Neal,

    Unfortunately, the side panes are not able to be displayed via code. You can control every aspect of the controls on the panes, but there's no way to display the pane itself. You would have to re-create the side panel as a userform if you want to mimic its functionality.
