Is there a way to store custom macros inside a word document? I noticed that when I distribute a document with a macro I made that it arrives "macro-less" and therefore doesn't perform as expected.
I'd like to embed the needed macro inside the document to make it portable.
Perhaps this just isn't possible, but I'm hoping it is.
We use mostly office 2013
I am aware that this question is primarily about Office 2007. This option is available in 2010, and may be missing in 2007.

Copy the entire PowerPoint slide. Select the slide thumbnail on the left list and press CtrlC
Click the arrow under Paste in Word; select Paste Special.... CtrlAltV does the same thing.
Select the Paste link radio button and Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Object
As you may have noticed in my screenshots from the paste special, the link is actually specified by filename.pptx!slidenumber. I've tried, but it seems it's not possible to specify the slide number in this way when adding as an object. When adding an object, the only way to get a Slide rather than a Presentation is to create a new one, not add from file.
Basically, just use the paste special method.
You could use Process Explorer to debug Word when the problem happens :
Right-click on winword.exe, choose Properties, and go to the Threads tab. Identify the thread that is using the CPU and click on it, then press the Stack button to see which system calls it is using.
A detailed description of this procedure can be found in this answer.
If you wish us to take a look at it, take a screenshot and post it here.
