"Author" property empty when using VBS macro/add-in

R

Ross

I've created a small PPT add-in with a button that creates a presentation
based on our corporate template.

For this button I've used VBS Presentations.Open command stating the
location of the .pot file that is our corporate temlate.
e.g.
Sub New_presentation()
Presentations.Open Filename:="\\Server\Templates\Company presentation.pot",
Untitled:=msoTrue
End Sub

The problem is that new presentations created using the add-in and do not
contain author's name in file properties. The "author" field in the original
..pot file is blank.

When a new presentation is created from the same template without the use of
the add-in the authors name shows up correctly.

Did I do anything wrong? How should I approach this problem? Did anyone have
the same issue?

Thans,

Ross
