Object model for subtitles in PowerPoint?

Automatic subtitles are a relatively new feature that is found only in Office 365 (now Microsoft 365). New features often take a years to find their way into the object model, and then only when all versions support the feature.

Thanks John, so we have to wait for that. Thanks for the info.

Hi Jamie, thanks for the registry tip! Confused. Registry is for all presentations, while this new subtitle is a presentation setting, right? How does that work together? And idea idea of how many space is taken off the slideshow when you show the title below the slide? Could that be a fixed percentage or height maybe?

That setting appears to be related to the PowerPoint session and not stored in the file (you can confirm by toggling the Always Use Subtitles setting and restarting PowerPoint). Let me take a look at the window size but I suspect this will get messy when considering multi-monitor setups in relation to Windows monitor scaling and DPI-aware apps versus those that are not. I wish there was an easy way to find out the DPI setting for each monitor rather than be told the value for the primary monitor only!

Interesting. Let me know if you have more info on the sizing. Otherwise a great help already.

My name not capitalized. That is another problem:-). thanks!
