Can I set the default format for PPT --> printer or PDF?

[Marcus B]

I edit & present PPT - new files every day. I save them as PDFs, and print
them - all in the 6-up handout format. In PPT 2003, I could set my "normal"
print format to 6-up. (PDF was a "printer," so that worked for both.)

Now that I've moved to Vista and Office 2007, I can set the default print
format for one PPT file, but not for all PPT files. And when I save it as a
PDF, I must specify the 6-up format every time I save the file.

Surely there's a way to set the default format to 6-up handouts, so I don't
have to reset that every time.

Any suggestions?

I still have 2003 at home. I'll check there to try setting the printing
preferences for all PPT files, but I'm pretty sure that I could set it
globally.

And I just checked - on this new computer, I don't have Adobe
Distiller/PDFWriter, just the Reader 8.0. I'll find out if we have a license
for the writer, and see what options that provides.

Thanks!
