MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Disable Slide Designs?
Is it possible to disable the slide designs, for example in an addin, so that any presentations from a template using the addin would not have access to Microsoft's slide designs, but would have access to custom ones? I don't really want to stop the users from having the ability to use Microsoft's slide designs in other presentations they create, but if they are using the corporate template they have to use the corporate designs. Can anyone help?

This can be done with an add-in but not otherwise. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hi Steve I thought the answer would be to use an add-in, but my problem is that I don't know how to disable Microsoft's design templates but enable custom ones. I've spent a lot of time on the internet trying to find that out and so far I haven't found a solution. If you know how to limit the choice to custom design templates I would really appreciate it.

It wouldn't work that way, or at least I don't see how it could. Instead I'd look at trapping the event when the user inserts a new slide and, if the current presentation is based on your template, immediately deleting the slide (and letting the user know why and what to do about it). One of our commercial add-ins does something along these lines, though it optionally reformats slides the user's added in non-standard ways. Deleting would be easy by comparison. <g> If you want to email me on steve at-sign pptools dot com I'd be happy to fill in more details. > Thanks > Aehan [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
