Script Tools/Alternative

[Uffe]

Hi,

I would like to save the way ppt files are printed (ie handouts 2
slides per page) so I don't have to change it every time.

By hand I change this using the Tools menu, then Options, and the tab
Print. I select "Use the following settings" and from the drop down
"Handouts (2 slides per page)".

How do I do this programmatically from my vb script?

I tried to record a macro to get started, but nothing fom the
tools/options menu is recorded.

Regards

Ulf

I have found that if I set up tools > options >print as you say and then
save the file as a powerpoint design template named "blank" this stays as the
default for new presentations. Others have told me it doesnt work for them
but it definitely does here( ppt 2003 sp2)

No, sorry. As a work-around I modified my companies template with the
setting you suggest. When I start a presentation based on the new
template, the setting is correct as you suggest. I then took one of my
presentations and applied the modified company template to my
presentation, but it didn't work. The template is applied bug the tools

options > print setting is left unchanged.

More suggestions?
