I have a very useful PowerPoint add-in in a .ppam format. I used the following method (Edit a .ppam file for customizing an add-in) to open it in VBA and slightly modify to better suit my needs. I would like to save the changes now, so that they are in effect whenever I open PowerPoint with that add-in. However, when I click 'File -> Save' in VBA Editor and restart PowerPoint, the changes I made are no longer there.

How do I save them?

You can't. You can either copy/paste from the edited modules/forms/classes into new modules/forms/classes in a PPTM file or export each of the modules/forms/classes and then import them into a PPTM.

I am maintaining one PowerPoint Add-in myself for a long time. My way of doing it:

  1. keeping the master file in ".pptm", and always maintain it there
  2. as soon as the master files opens (can be hooked in Ribbonloaded event), it'll disable the running add-in
  3. I developed a button to release current .pptm file replacing the .ppam add-in, so as long as I want to publish again, I'll click it.
