Remove SaveAs PowerPoint97-2003 (*.ppt) option

[Edward]

Hi everybody,
Is it possibile to remove PowerPoint 97-2003 (*.ppt) option from the list of
SaveAs dialogbox ? The reason for this is because we have an addin in both
2003 and 2007 versions and for a period of time we need to have both version
of office available for the users , but sometimes they open a presentation
that is created by PP2003 addin in PP2007 and they save as (*.PPT) this
action destroys the titlemaster\slidemster link pp2003 addin doesn't work
anymore.

I don't think you can remove it, but you might be able to cancel the save using

Private Sub App_PresentationBeforeSave(ByVal Pres As Presentation, Cancel As
Boolean)

Thanks but I work in VBA not Visual studio.

It may be possible using some group policy to disable the extension
altogether but not sure if it worth the effort, you would need to set the
policy on all the machines.
