MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007Removing Save Prompt
I have created a PowerPoint Presentation in XP that has various codes which generates pages (i.e. summary page for a quiz.) This Presentation is posted online in .pps and when they finish the quiz, the leaner prints the summary page. The problem occurs when they go to close the PP. At this point, since a page was generated, it asks them if they want to save the changes. This is causing confusion because many of the learners use english as a second language and they are not well adversed in computer functions. They become confused thinking they should save. I have the file as read-only but it will still ask them if they want to save under a different name. The question I have is; is there any way to turn this function off (not prompting them to save when they close out PP?)

Is that correct? If so, after your VBA has made changes, add this line: ActivePresentation.Saved = True That should do it, I think > I have the file as read-only but it will still ask them if they want > to save under a different name.

It would need to be in the code after anything that changes the presentation. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Bryan, Have you tried simply closing the presentation in code? PowerPoint does not prompt to save if Close is called from code.

My solution is: don't save as .pps for publish. If you transform your PowerPoint to Flash and publish online, your learners will read your presentations only. It's a popular way in e- learning.
