When I try to delete a particular slide in my *.pptm file, an error message pops up saying - "Powerpoint can't start this feature because you currently have a Visual Basic for Applications project in break mode.
The slide is a blank slide and has nothing in it. I am able to delete other slides though.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Do you have macros in your PowerPoint? If not, save as a pptx file.
Yes I have macros in my PowerPoint, hence the pptm format.
I would save a copy as a pptx file (killing all of your macros)
Close PPT and open just the pptx saved file.
Can you delete now?
If YES then it's probable a bug in your code
If you still can't it's probably code in an AddIn.
