How to Install InsertPicture for Mac

Before installing InsertPicture:
InsertPicture uses Macros and AppleScript.
For security, please set PowerPoint so that it disables all macros with notification.
You need to do this only one time.

Here's how:
On the Menu Bar choose PowerPoint > Preferences > Security & Privacy
Use the settings shown here:
PowerPoint Security Preferences Dialog

Note: If you are not using the current update to PowerPoint, you may need to choose Disable all macros without notification.


After you place your order at the Paddle web site, you will receive an email message that contains a download link.
Click the link
to obtain a zip file that contains
InsertPicture for Mac PPT.ppam file.
You will find the zip file in the Downloads location specified by your web web browser - usually this is the Mac OS Downloads folder.


To install the add-in:

1. In Finder, double-click the downloaded .zip file to show InsertPicture for Mac PPT.ppam

2. Drag InsertPicture for Mac PPT.ppam to the Applications folder

3. Open Microsoft PowerPoint

4. On the Menu Bar, choose Tools > PowerPoint Add-Ins to display the Add-Ins dialog

5. In the Add-Ins dialog, click the plus sign + to display a Finder file browser

6. In the Finder File Browser, choose the Applications folder, then click on InsertPicture for Mac PPT.ppam to select the file

7. Click the Open button

Add-ins dialog
 
8. Next, in Mac OS X Ventura, a Warning from PowerPoint displays asking the yes or no question, "Do you want to open a potentially unsafe file?"
Yes and No options are not offered. Instead, choose Enable Macros.
Other versions of Mac OS and PowerPoint may have variations on these warnings.
PowerPoint will remember your choice and won't ask this question again.

9, Next, another Yes or No question from PowerPoint displays asking, "Do you want to turn off macro virus protection?"
Again, Yes and No options are not offered. Instead, choose Turn Off, which allows only InsertPicture to run.
Macro virus protection will remain in place for all other add-ins, which is not what this dialog says will happen.
Again, PowerPoint will remember your choice and won't ask this question again.

Warnings dialogs
