Changing PowerPoint's Options and AutoCorrect settings

Problem

Perhaps you want to change PowerPoint's AutoFit settings or alter any of the many settings in the Tools, Options dialog box.

Solution

There isn't any easy solution, unfortunately.

PowerPoint stores most options settings in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\PowerPoint\Options

(where xx.0 = 11.0 for Office 2003, 10.0 for Office 2002, etc.)

PowerPoint reads these settings at startup and writes them back at shutdown, so

An external program that runs before or after PowerPoint could make the needed changes, as long as PowerPoint isn't running.
