Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the default file format for Office 2010 applications should be the format that was 13 years old (Office 97-2002) at the time of release.
The newer formats (2007 and newer) save the data in compressed XML files which are much smaller, and also allow for many additional features. Our corporate IT department hasn't or can't set a group policy to force users to default to saving in the new format, so I'm writing a macro to adjust the settings for everyone in our department.
I can do this in Excel and Word very simply by executing the following VBA code (I'm running it from an Excel workbook):
Public Sub SetExcelSave()
Dim myExcel As Excel.Application
Set myExcel = New Excel.Application
Excel.DefaultSaveFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Excel.Quit
Set Excel = Nothing
End Sub
Public Sub SetWordSave()
Dim myWord As Word.Application
Set myWord = New Word.Application
Word.DefaultSaveFormat = wdFormatDocumentDefault
Word.Quit
Set Word = Nothing
End Sub
However, I haven't been able to find the appropriate setting to adjust in PowerPoint. Does anyone know where that property is or what it's called?
This code will not compile cleanly, giving an error on the PPT.DefaultSaveFormat line:
Public Sub SetPowerPointSave()
Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.DefaultSaveFormat = ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation
PPT.Quit
Set PPT = Nothing
End Sub
I've rummaged around in the Office Application Object documentation for PowerPoint, but I'm just not finding what I'm after. It's highly likely that I just don't know what I'm looking for and have simply overlooked it.
Does anyone know what property I'm supposed to set to be able to programmatically change this?
回答1:
The default save format for PPT 2007 and later is the new XML format (PPTX rather than PPT and so on). If the user (or IT staff via policies) have overridden this in the File | Save | Save files in this format: then the default becomes whatever they've selected, for whatever reason.
App-wide defaults like this typically aren't exposed via the object model; they're stored in the registry. In this case, in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Options
DefaultFormat DWORD=27 for PPTX
Substitute the correct version for 14.0 above; 12.0 for PPT 2007, 14.0 for 2010, and so on (no 13.0).
If you can write the value you want to the registry when PPT isn't running, you can reset the defaults. If you write to the reg while PPT's running, it won't affect the current instance of PPT, and your changes will be overwritten when PPT quits.
