What it does

KPT Guides Off in a minute

PowerPoint remembers whether drawing guides are on for the whole app, not for each deck. Once guides have been switched on, they come back on every slide of every deck you open. KPT Guides Off quietly switches them off when PowerPoint starts and whenever a deck is created or opened.

There is no tab and nothing to click: install it and it is on. You can still turn guides on whenever you want them; they simply stop following you into the next deck. Smart Guides, the alignment hints while you drag, are never touched.

  • Nothing to click

    Install it once. There is no tab and no setting.

  • Every deck

    New decks and opened decks both start without guide lines.

  • Guides when you want

    Turn guides on as usual; they stay until the next deck.

  • Smart Guides untouched

    The alignment hints while you drag keep working.

  • Mac and Windows

    The same add-in for PowerPoint for Mac and for Windows.

  • Tiny

    A few kilobytes, with nothing running outside PowerPoint.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Where is its tab?

There is none. KPT Guides Off works on its own as soon as PowerPoint starts.

Can I still use guides?

Yes. Turn them on from View > Guides as usual. They stay on until you open or create the next deck.

Why do guides keep coming back without it?

PowerPoint stores the guides switch for the whole app, not for each deck, so whatever you last chose follows you into every deck.
