| Description | PPTM is a file format used for PowerPoint presentations that contain macros. This format was introduced by Microsoft in 2007 as part of the Office Open XML (OOXML) specification. PPTM is similar to the PPTX format, which is also used for PowerPoint presentations, but includes support for macros. |
| Technical details | PPTM files are stored in a compressed package format that is based on the ZIP file format. They contain a collection of XML files that describe the content, formatting, and macros of the presentation. The macros in PPTM files can be written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and are used to automate tasks and add interactivity to the presentation. PPTM files can be created and edited using Microsoft PowerPoint, as well as other presentation software that supports the OOXML specification. To run macros in a PPTM file, the user must have macro security enabled in their PowerPoint settings. This is important because macros have the potential to execute harmful code on a user's computer if they are not trusted. |
