I am trying to change the presentation name
programmatically, whenever a new presentation is opened.
i.e instead of Presentation1, presentation2...I want to
display Test1, Test2 like that. But I do not want to use
SaveAS method since further the user will be forced to
save in same location after editing. Is there any work
around for this?

Also, I am trying to add a new property page to the
Powerpoint's "New Presentation" dialog. Is it possible?
How do I do this? If so, is this possible to all
Powerpoint dialog resources? I am trying to do this entire
stuff in VC++ and not in VB. Can anyone tell me
suggestions please? Its very urgent requirement.
 
I don't think you can change the naming sequence short of the procedure you
have already stated. This seems to be an internal setting and the name is a
readonly property.

Adding a property page may be possible but this is not documented or atleast
I haven't found anything suggesting it.
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - If you are using Office 2003, you should install this
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion

suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
