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.

Thanks,
Vindys
 
Yeah, I know that. 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.
 
Well, but nobody can say for certain that it can't be done either, right?

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.
