QAT Queries
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: Rick Altman on 20 Feb 2007 22:40 I have three questions about the Quick Access Toolbar in PowerPoint 2007: 1. Is it still the case that no part of the interface other than the QAT can be customized? Or has the third-party community made progress on scripting into the Ribbon? 2. Where are changes stored to the QAT? It's not the .pcb file like with previous versions. Is it all stuffed into the Registry? I was unable to find a file that reflected changes upon my changing the QAT. 3. Related, what is the ppt12.pcb file responsible for? It doesn't appear to be tracking customzing or changes in Options. Thanks... Rick Altman PowerPoint Live http://www.powerpointlive.com
From: Shyam Pillai on 21 Feb 2007 01:20 Hi Rick, 1. Check Ribbon Customizer from Patrick - http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncustomizer/index.php. I expect to have some thing related out shortly. 2. The changes are stored in PowerPoint.QAT which is an xml file. You can usually find it here: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE 3. Not certain about this but I'm sure it serves some legacy purposes. -- Regards, Shyam Pillai Animation Carbon http://www.AnimationCarbon.com "Rick Altman" <rick.a(a)NOSPAMaltman.com> wrote in message news:ej4GSoWVHHA.3568(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >I have three questions about the Quick Access Toolbar in PowerPoint 2007: > > 1.

Legacy code that creates toolbars/menu additions still works in 2007 (though a bit differently). I'm guessing that PPT still needs someplace to store these customizations, and a bit of brief investigation suggests that that's the case. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
From: Rick Altman on 21 Feb 2007 13:55 Thanks a lot, Shyam -- I looked all over Application Data, but not the one buried in Local Settings. What were they smoking when they chose to have two folders called Application Data??

From: Patrick Schmid [MVP] on 21 Feb 2007 15:42 One is for roaming user profiles, meaning a domain user can have those settings go with him or her on each message he or she logs on, if roaming is enabled. The settings in Application Data are those, and should be machine-neutral. The other folder is for machine-specific application settings that will not roam with a user. Unfortunately, Microsoft made the QAT non-roaming.
