Saving an XML Presentation


When you save a presentation, PowerPoint 2007 saves it by default (New!) in a XML file format (.pptx ). PowerPoint allows you to work with the easy-to-use Office interface, and create and save documents as XML, without ever knowing the XML language. The XML format significantly reduces file sizes, provides enhanced file recovery, and allows for increased compatibility, sharing, reuse, and transportability.

Save an XML Presentation


Click the Office button, and then click Save As.

Click the Save in list arrow, and then click the drive or folder where you want to save the file.

Type a presentation file name.

If necessary, click the Save as type list arrow, and then click PowerPoint Presentation.

Click Save.

For Your Information: Understanding Extensions: PPTX vs. PPTM

PowerPoint 2007 files with the default "x" at the end of the extension (.pptx) cannot contain Visual Basic for Application (VBA) macros or ActiveX controls, which decreases the security risks associated with files that contain embedded code. PowerPoint 2007 files with an "m" at the end of the extension (.pptm) contain VBA macros and ActiveX controls. The embedded code is even stored in a separate section within the .pptm file to make it easier to isolate if necessary. The two different extensions make it easier for antivirus software to identify potential threats and block documents with unwanted macros or controls.
