VBA-Does PP have startup file?
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: Edward on 12 Feb 2010 16:53 Does PP have startup file something like normal.dot in word? I have written an addin that is loaded by a automatic IT procdure , but I want to use VBA Addin.add function for doing it , but I added that code in Auto_Open () of the addin itself ! ( I think you can see the delema here ) if adin is not loaded before this Auto_Open won't work . I would be nice if I find that startup file for PP and add this line of code in it's Auto_Open(0 so everytime pp opens this code makes sure that specific addin is loaded. Any suggestions? I hope I was clear in my explanation -- Best regards, Edward

The add-in would have to be installed on every computer that you wanted it to work on. --David -- David M.

If you load the add-in manually once, it'll load itself automatically from then on. Or you can set a few registry entries to make it load automatically w/o the user having to load it manually. For example, for Office 2003 (11): Create: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\AddIns\addin-name] and under it: A string: Path Value is the path to the addin file A DWORD: AutoLoad Value = 00000001 ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/
From: Edward on 12 Feb 2010 19:30 Thanks, Yes right now we use those registry keys for automatically load the addin, but here is the problem: We have both office 2003 and office 2007 installed for all the users, and this addin has a 2003 version ( with 03 style toolbar) and 07 version with XML base ribbon( so there are separate files ppa and ppam ). We don't have problem for 03 it still shows one toolbar, but in 07 when users open PP there is one tab ( XML bases 07 style witth all the functions ) and one additional tab Addins ( as default behavior of 07 which loads all old style toolbars in addins tab) , it seems pp07 when finds an addin loaded in 03 automatically assums it must be loaded in 07 as well and because 03 version of addins use old style toolbars it creates Addins tab and loads them in that tab. I'm not sure there is a soultion for this or not? -- Best regards, Edward "Steve Rindsberg" wrote: > In article <C856833A-DD97-45A3-AFA8-9652435C6B8F(a)microsoft.com>, Edward wrote: > > Does PP have startup file something like normal.dot in word? > > No, it doesn't. > > > I have written an addin that is loaded by a automatic IT procdure , but I > > want to use VBA Addin.add function for doing it , but I added that code in > > Auto_Open () of the addin itself !
