MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007Adding an automatic corporate footer to all presentations?
In our company we want to have all presentations to automatically have the file path, file name, user who created the presentation and the date created automatically added as a footer. IS this possible? We do this with Word and Excell already but I am told that Power Point does not have this functionality. Thansk, Ken Natively PPT doesn't offer this, however you could do it with a small VBA add in.

We are trying to do this without relying on any end-user intervention. We are using PP 2003 but are presently evaluating 2007, including functionality like this.

No, they will need to install it and alter security settings allowing it to run. With PPT 07 there are additional issues to deal with. Sorry... Austin Myers MS PowerPoint MVP Team Provider of PFCPro, PFCMedia and PFCExpress www.playsforcertain.com As Austin's mentioned, 2007 is a bit testier than 2003 when it comes to installing addins. Whether you can do this in 2003 will depend on your user's security settings. If "Trust installed addins and templates" is checked in Tools, Macro, Security, Trusted Publishers, PPT will trust any installed add-in, even if the security level is set to Very High. What's an installed addin? One that's listed in the registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\PowerPoint\Addins\AddinName (where x = PPT version number; 2003=11, 2007=12 and so on) Under that key, you'll need two values: AutoLoad REG_DWORD = 0xffffffff Path REG_SZ = path to addin's PPA file If you have a tool that can roll out those settings, you should be ok, at least for 2003 Poke around the registry a bit and you'll probably work out how to set the Trusted Publishers option as well. > Can a VBA add in be pushed out to client PC's without their interaction, or > would it have to be enabled individually?
