Microsoft Powerpoint notes removal addin on Office 2007 and Windows 7

Here’s an update on my previous (dated back in 2005) blog posting on Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 notes removal add-in.

The actual add-in file is still valid and working on Office 2007. You can find it here:

Update is related to where you should copy the *.ppa file on Windows 7 and how to add the add-in on Powerpoint 2007. First of all, download and copy the *.ppa file to your Windows user roaming directory:

C:\Users\<windowsusername>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns

e.g on my machine the path where to copy this is:

C:\Users\hkaukovu\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns

Here are the steps to enable the add-in:

1. Go to powerpoint options

2. Choose Add-Ins

3. From lower part of window choose “Manage: Powerpoint Add-Ins” and press “Go…”

4. Press “Add New…”

5. Select the *.ppa file

6. Press Enable Macros

7. You have now the notes removal add-in enabled.

'

8. You can execute the notes removal add-in from “Add-Ins” tab.

The add-in activation is permanent, so next time you startup Powerpoint, this notes removal add-in should be active.
