How to write addin that works in both Powerpoint 2007 and Powerpoint 2010
-
Hi all, I've been tasked with ensuring our add-in works in both Powerpoint 2007 and Powerpoint 2010. We'd really rather not have to keep up with two sets of code - imagine the headaches that might entail. I've searched online and on CodeProject for what I need to do to enable functionality in both versions but apparently I don't have the right search terms. Anyone know of any article(s) or other postings that address this issue? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

How about if you check the version of PP in your addin and react according to the version? I never programmed any PP addin and don't even know if you can read the version info but I know this works in Outlook and Word.

I appreciate the answer. Yes, that does sound like a viable solution as long as I can code in VS2010 and it'll work in both of them. The problem I'm finding with coding this add-in is there's a dearth of information about programming for PowerPoint. Lots of info for how to use PP, but not much about programming for it. But thanks for the assist. Any little bit helps. ;-)
