Presenter 5.4 tools disappeared from PowerPoint Add-in toolbar
Apr 19, 2011
Hi All --
I have a problem I hope someone can help me solve:
For some time now, I've been using PowerPoint 2007 and Presenter 5.4 on Windows 7. PowerPoint and Presenter were installed under Windows Vista, and I later upgraded to Windows 7. Everything was working great.
... then I decided to upgrade to Office 2010 (with PowerPoint 2010).
When I opened PowerPoint 2010, the Articulate / Presenter tools for publishing, adding a Quiz (I also use Quizmaker) just disappeared from the tool bar. My Camtasia tools are still there. It used to be next to Camtasia, now it's gone.
So, I decided to uninstall Office 2010 and reinstall Office 2007. Had no problems doing so. I then tried to uninstall and reinstall Presenter 5.4. Unfortunately, the Presenter tools *still* do not appear!
What happened, I wonder, and how can I fix this?
I open PowerPoint Options and select Add-Ins, select Manage COM Add-ins and press the Go... button. A pop-up window appears and I can see "Presenter" in the list with a checked box next to it, seemingly indicating it's enabled.
I've tried starting PowerPoint with Run As Administrator, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can get Presenter 5.4 reinstalled and working again? I'm in a bit of a panic!
Thanks,
Chris

I would follow the instructions here to make sure there are no disabled add-ins in PowerPoint:

Presenter 5 is not supported in PowerPoint 2010 as you figured out.
