01 Apr 2008	Nathan Brahms	Very nice! This will make my life easier...
23 Jun 2008	c garven	Thanks

14 Nov 2008	Wolfgang Schwanghart	Great function. The only minus is, that it automatically shuts down powerpoint and there is no warning. So unsaved ppts will be lost.
20 Mar 2009	Ameya Deoras	Saved me some time. Works with R2009a
18 Apr 2009	jhh	Works great. One suggestion: you use print('-dmeta'...; to keep a figure's size unchanged, print('-dbitmap',['-f' ... should be used. Perhaps add this as an extra option?
20 May 2009	Jaroslaw Tuszynski	great improvement over saveppt . Thanks

11 Nov 2009	Paul	To avoid losing unsaved ppts, comment out this line: invoke(ppt,'Quit'); (line 420 in 25 Mar 2008 version) If you don't have any open ppt's, powerpoint will still close normally [Tested using powerpoint ver 2007]
