Hi steve - I've searched the registry and found a folder or files Path
REG_SZ C:\ProgrammeFile\MicrosoftOffice\Office\aware97.ppa. I followed this
and found a file called PPT Tools Microsoft Powerpoint Addins (472KB). The
properties say that the author od this is "An exulted Microsoft Office Fan".
To me that seems a bit odd!!

Very!

And just to avoid any possible confusion, this "PPT Tools" file has nothing to do
with any of the PPTools add-ins (which I wrote). I'd at least have spelled
"exalted" correctly, had I a mind to elevate myself. <g>

Anyhow ... I think we're on the right track, but you didn't mention where you found
this entry in the registry. That's the next thing to let us know about.

Most likely you'll be able to delete the keys that point to this file and be done
with the thing, but let's be sure it's safe first.

Still another one ... ppttools.ppa, as I recall.

Small world, no?

Hello Steve - I do seem to be in "exulted" company!!
I found the file in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Powerpoint\Addins\OCRWARE.
Clearly this all means something to you, but like DOS at one time I see the
registry a bit like the drains of a house - totally necessary, but not
something you want to play in unless you know what your doing! (Which I
don't).
