Sample Visual Basic Procedure
Sub SaveAsRTF

' Used to specify the SaveAs format. Const Format As Long = ppSaveAsRTF

' Change this constant to the path needed to save the presentation. Const Path As String = "c:\"

' Use this constant to store the name of the file. The RTF extension ' is automatically added to the file name. Const NameOfFile As String = "test"

' Saves the presentation in RTF format. Note that the ' EmbedTrueTypeFonts parameter must be set to false. The RTF format ' does not support embedded fonts. ActivePresentation.SaveAs _ FileName:=Path & NameOfFile, _ FileFormat:=Format, _ EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=msoFalse

End Sub
