MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Savetype for openxml presentation under Powerpoint 2003
Hi, I need a way to save a document with PowerPoint 2003 as OpenXML Presentation Macro enabled (pptm). "PpSaveAsFileType" got a value for that, but it seems those values differ under Office 2003. It's "25" with PowerPoint2007, can someone tell me which number to use with PP 2003? I could find out those numbers in excel and word by using macros, but when I try to save to a 2007 format while recording a macro in PowerPoint I just get the error message that PowerPoint found an error, and that I should save and restart it. Thanks for all help Kira Kira, ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentationMacroEnabled was added in PPT2007. So you can't use this in PPT2003. I guess you getting powerpoint crash at the part where you try to save the file using a file type specific for 2007 as that file type is not available in PPT2003.

That's why I need that alternative enum number for it. As I have the compatibility pack I should be able to use the new file types with Office 2003. As I wrote, I could get numbers for word and excel. I can't imagine there isn't one for powerpoint too. > Kira, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Thanks for all help > > Kira A lot of things you can do manually in PPT are not exposed to automation. It's possible that this is one of them. The compatibility pack allows you to save as 2007 format but that doesn't necessarily mean that the capability can be automated. > Yeah, I know that.

Could someone then perhaps give me a hint as to why I can't record the saving process in a macro. It would be so much easier if I could do that. The error message is about as nondescript es they get, so no hint there. > A lot of things you can do manually in PPT are not exposed to automation. > > It's possible that this is one of them. > > The compatibility pack allows you to save as 2007 format but that doesn't > necessarily mean that the capability can be automated. > Well, but nobody can say for certain that it can't be done either, right? Nobody who can has said anything, that's true. ;-) > Could someone then perhaps give me a hint as to why I can't record the > saving process in a macro. In PowerPoint 2003? Probably a related issue ... most likely the patch that allows saving in 2007 format affects just the save but hasn't updated the object model, VBA or the recorder. > It would be so much easier if I could do that. > The error message is about as nondescript es they get, so no hint there. That's fairly typical of error messages from PowerPoint. If you absolutely must do this, you could possibly use SendKeys to automate what a user would do manually via keystrokes. When the only way is an ugly way ... > > A lot of things you can do manually in PPT are not exposed to automation. > > > > It's possible that this is one of them. > > > > The compatibility pack allows you to save as 2007 format but that doesn't > > necessarily mean that the capability can be automated. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
