To set preferences in PowerPoint, on the
PowerPoint menu, click Preferences.
The following sections provide examples of the different types of preferences that you can set in
PowerPoint 2008.
Setting default storage locations
You can set the default location and search path for opening and saving PowerPoint 2008
presentations. You also can specify the default location for narration files. By default, the
documents are stored in /Users/username/Documents/ on the user computer. If your organization
uses shared presentations, you can specify the default file location for saving presentations.
Note If the shared presentations preference is set to use a network file server and the user
opens PowerPoint 2008 before connecting to that server, PowerPoint does not prompt the user
to connect to the file server. Also, if the user is not connected to the network file server and
tries to view the default file location setting in PowerPoint under
Preferences, no file location
is displayed.
Set default storage locations
1. In the
Preferences dialog box, on the Toolbar, click Advanced.
2. Do one or both of the following:
• For
Default file location, click Select, and then click the name of the folder that
you want to use as the default storage location.
• For
Default narration file location, click Select, and then click the name of the
folder that you want to use as the default storage location.
Setting default spelling options
You can set the default options for the spelling checker in PowerPoint 2008. In the Preferences
dialog box, click
Spelling, and then select the options that you want. Also, when you create a new
custom dictionary in Word 2008, this new dictionary is available automatically in PowerPoint 2008
as well.
