Default file format

This policy setting governs the default format for new presentation files that users create.

If you enable this policy setting, when a user creates a new blank presentation, it is in the specified default format. Users may still override the default and specify a specific format when they create a presentation.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, PowerPoint Presentation is the default option.
