How to add built-in doc properties using an AddIn.

[Antoine Venrooij]

Hi,

When I use an AddIn the built-in document properties are not saved together
with the presentation.
If I unloch the add in and use a .pot file via File, New I get the built-in
document properties want.
What VBA is needed to activate these built-in doc properties on saving?

Sorry, but I don't understand.

When you use an addin to do what, exactly?
Is it something you've written?
Can you post the relevant code here if so?

Thank you Steve

Lots of macros are inside the AddIn.
When you save a presentation its controle is taken over by the VBA instead
of me as current user.
The difference in saving is shown when you select File, Properties, Summary
TAB.
You see e.g. behind the template: nothing in case the AddIn is active and
the active pot when the adIn is diabled.

Does this clarify things?

No, I'm afraid not.

You're creating a new presentation based on a template (POT) file.

What code do you use for this, and what version of PPT are you using?

As to the document properties, is your code setting the presentation's
properties before saving? Or are you hoping to have the presentation "inherit"
the document properties that are already saved in the POT file?

Steve,

A colleague is programming VBA code to work with a specific toolbar. This is
realized using an AddIn. When you do not use the AddIn the document
properties are shown differently on those using an AddIn. It should behave
in such a way that if a user saves a presentation using the AddIn the
properties which are edited during the creation of the presentation (Title,
Author, Company and Template these are saved together with the
presentation.

He succeded writing VBA code to simulate this behaviour and with good
results already.
Thank you for your help.

Antoine
