Hi

I have developed a PowerPoint Addin with a Custom Toolbar.

Where do I place the PowerPoint Addin to automatically load with no user
interaction

The Addin is for PowerPoint 2003
regards

D

PowerPoint won't automatically load add-ins based on where you store them.

You have to create a couple of registry entries instead. For 2003, leave
the 11.0 as is; change it to 12.0 for PPT 2007, 10.0 for 2002 etc.

Key Name: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0
\PowerPoint\AddIns\[YOUR ADDIN NAME]

Name: Path
Type: REG_SZ
Data: [full path to your addin file.ppa]

Value 1
Name: AutoLoad
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1


=============================

Easiest way to regenerate this info is to manually add your add-in (Tools,
Addins) and then look at the registry. PowerPoint will have created the
necessary entries for you.

In addition to Steve's information:

Replace HKEY_CURRENT_USER with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE if you want your add-in to
be installed for all users instead of just the current user.
