Default save on exit for ppt should be 'do save' not 'don't save'
when you exit most MS programmes you get a prompt 'do you want to save
changes'. Usually this defaults to 'yes' so you hit enter to save before you exit and lose the changes. Strangely, with powerpoint, it defaults to 'no'. I've now lost count of the number of times I've lost changes by just hitting 'enter'. Most times I exit I will want to save changes I've made, so this should be the default. At the very least all MS products should be consistent, whichever way. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I don't know whether you'll read this reply at all, or which version of PowerPoint you use. But in my PowerPoint 2003 (German), it defaults to yes, as it should.

Default save on exit for ppt should be 'do save' not 'don't sa
Hi,
this happens in Powerpoint 2003 SP2, too, and I do not believe it is to do with the version: The very same powerpoint installation defaults to "yes" with one presentation and "no" with another. The "no"-presentation keeps that behaviour on a different computer, and it turned out that it was created using a different template than blank.pot. So it is likely it has something to do with the template it stems from, but we aren't any closer then that to a real solution either. Maybe this points a direction though. Chris |
