Replace shape(autoshape) not working when contains text in PowerPoint vba - vba

Need little help from this forum.
I want to replace shape(autoshape) with other autoshape in my project & found a solution here http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?68760-Change-Fill-color-using-VBA-in-PowerPoint.
But in my project there are some shapes which contains text(I did not use textbox).
The code are select shape(which will be replaced) by some critaria
ie
by height 2. by weidth 3. fill colour 4. by top position.
As textbox is not a autoshape thats why I used shape which contains text & to give text backgroung transparent I used 'shape fill' to 'no fill'.
In my project there are shapes(not contains text) which are same size & same top position(ie the shape just behind the text shape).
Code is working fine for those shape which did not contains text.When I select the text shape & run the code it replaced all the shape behind the text shape ie
not replace the text shape(which I want to replace).
I tried a lot but not getting the solution.I also tried with changeing the weidth of the shape behind the textshape but not get desire result.
Sir any solution will be highly appreaciate.

Insert code in Excel workbook in "ThisWorkbook" using VBA

I need help with inserting a sizeable code into "ThisWorkbook" module in Excel using VBA.
Using the code below I'm able to insert the code into "ThisWorkbook" module, but this method (as I've learned recently) has limitations of 24 lines due to line beak (& _).
Sub AddCode()
Dim VBP As Object
Dim newmod As Object
Set VBP = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject
Set newmod = VBP.VBComponents.Add(1)
Dim StartLine As Long
Dim cLines As Long
With ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("ThisWorkbook").CodeModule
cLines = .CountOfLines + 1
.InsertLines cLines, _
"Private Sub Workbook_Open()" & Chr(13) & _
" Application.Calculation = xlManual" & Chr(13) & _
" Application.CalculateBeforeSave = False" & Chr(13) & _
" Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False" & Chr(13) & _
"Call Module1.ProtectAll" & Chr(13) & _
"End Sub"
End With
End Sub
The code I want to inject in addition to the code above is below (code found on another site). This allows me to track changes on the workbook that I share with others. I do not want to use Excel's built-in "Track Changes" feature.
Dim vOldVal
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
bBold = Target.HasFormula
With Sheet1
.Unprotect Password:="Passcode"
If .Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
.Range("A1:E1") = Array("CELL CHANGED", "OLD VALUE", _
"NEW VALUE", "TIME OF CHANGE", "DATE OF CHANGE")
End If
With .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2, 1)
.Value = Target.Address
.Offset(0, 1) = vOldVal
With .Offset(0, 2)
If bBold = True Then
.ClearComments
.AddComment.Text Text:= _
"Note:" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(10) & _
"Bold values are the results of formulas"
End If
.Value = Target
.Font.Bold = bBold
End With
.Offset(0, 3) = Time
.Offset(0, 4) = Date
End With
.Cells.Columns.AutoFit
.Protect Password:="Passcode"
End With
vOldVal = vbNullString
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
vOldVal = Target
End Sub
How can I achieve this? What is the best and the most efficient way to do this?
I've tried splitting the code in chunks of 20 lines and create 3 "AddCode" sub-routines, but I get an error at "bBold = Target.HasFormula". I have searched the web for alternatives, but nothing seems to be working.
Thanks in advance.
This is an abbreviated version of what I'm doing to create on load code. I create the onload event, then add a new module.
Sub AddOnload()
''Create on load sub
With ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("ThisWorkbook").CodeModule
.InsertLines 1, "Private Sub Workbook_Open()"
.InsertLines 2, " call CallMe"
.InsertLines 3, "End Sub"
End With
Call CreateCode
End Sub
''Add new module with code
Sub CreateCode()
Dim vbp As VBProject
Dim vbc As VBComponent
Dim strCode
Set vbp = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject
Set vbc = vbp.VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_StdModule)
vbc.Name = "tracker"
strCode = "Sub CallMe()" & vbCrLf & "End Sub"
vbc.CodeModule.AddFromString strCode
End Sub

Any ideas?
I am using Simple solution for my job devided in two pars
1) Extract all images from word file
This can be done in two ways.
a. save as html which will create the folder filenam_files which will hold all the images in .png formate. There may be duplicate images in diff formate but .png will be unique.
b. change filename of word from file.docx to file.docx.zip
You can get the images at file.docx\word\media
There will be no duplicate images in this method.
2) Import all images in powerpoint.
1)
As you have already opened the document manually you can do one more step manually or record macro which will look like this.
Sub exportimages()
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "D:\temp\"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="data.html", FileFormat:=wdFormatHTML, _
LockComments:=False, passWord:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, WritePassword _
:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
False, CompatibilityMode:=0
End Sub
2)
Close the word document.
Open Power point and paste this
Sub ImportABunch()
Dim strTemp As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFileSpec As String
Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oPic As Shape
strPath = "D:\temp\data_files\"
strFileSpec = "*.png" 'if you are using mehtod **a.** to extract the images.
'strFileSpec = "*.*" 'if you are using mehtod **b.** to extract the images.
strTemp = Dir(strPath & strFileSpec)
Do While strTemp <> ""
Set oSld = ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
Set oPic = oSld.Shapes.AddPicture(FileName:=strPath & strTemp, _
LinkToFile:=msoFalse, _
SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, _
Left:=0, _
Top:=0, _
Width:=-1, _
Height:=-1)
strTemp = Dir
Loop
End Sub
You can write vbscript to combine this two steps together. I have no idea how to do that. You can google it.

Append Text to Shape Without Overwriting Existing Text in VBA

I have a script in VBA that prints out certain user selected variables to a PPT template. In this sub:
Private Sub WarningInfo()
Call Dictionary.WarningInfo
'Sets the font for the warning information text.
With ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Font
.Size = 24
.Name = "Calibri"
.Shadow.Visible = True
End With
ComboBoxList = Array(CStr(ComboBox3))
For Each Ky In ComboBoxList
'On Error Resume Next
'If nothing is selected in ComboBox3, do nothing and exit this sub.
If ComboBox3 = "" Then
Exit Sub
'Otherwise, if it has a selection, insert selected text.
Else
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange = vbCrLf & dict2.Item(Ky)(0)
End If
Next
Set dict2 = Nothing
End Sub
It will print out dict2.Item(Ky)(0) within the shape WarningText1. This variable is selected by the user in a GUI and it is pulled from a dictionary. An example of what would be selected and output is "No hail expected".
My next sub is this:
Private Sub WarningInfo2()
Call Dictionary.WindInfo
'Sets the font for the warning information text.
With ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Font
.Size = 24
.Name = "Calibri"
.Shadow.Visible = True
End With
ComboBoxList = Array(CStr(ComboBox4))
For Each Ky In ComboBoxList
'On Error Resume Next
'If nothing is selected in ComboBox4, do nothing and exit this sub.
If ComboBox4 = "" Then
Exit Sub
'Otherwise, if it has a selection, insert selected text.
Else
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange = vbCrLf & dict3.Item(Ky)(0)
End If
Next
Set dict3 = Nothing
End Sub
It will print out dict3.Item(Ky)(0). However, with the way this second sub is set up, it will just overwrite the data from the first sub (since both subs are within the same UserForm). I need to find a way to change this line of code ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange = vbCrLf & dict3.Item(Ky)(0) so that it ADDS this text to the existing text within the shape "WarningText1".
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("WarningText1").TextFrame2.TextRange & vBCrLf & dict3.Item(Ky) (0)

Trying to create or remove Watermarks depending on filename

I need an 'autorun' piece of VBA for Word 2013 to either add or remove a Watermark dependent on the filename of the document. I want to add this to a template we use for our Technical Reports which, in turn, are generated by an external Application/System and automatically named in the process. So the same document template may be named differently dependent on workflow
For documents entitled "DRAFT.XXX.NNNNNNNN.." I want a 'Draft' watermark
For any other documents there should be no watermark (or the watermark could be coloured white, ie invisible)
I've successfully created VBA/Macros to insert or remove Watermarks:
Sub InsertWaterMark()
Dim strWMName As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
'selects all the sheets
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Select
strWMName = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Index
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
'Change the text for your watermark here
Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes.AddTextEffect(msoTextEffect1, _
"DRAFT", "Arial", 1, False, False, 0, 0).Select
With Selection.ShapeRange
.Name = strWMName
.TextEffect.NormalizedHeight = False
.Line.Visible = False
With .Fill
.Visible = True
.Solid
.ForeColor.RGB = Gray
.Transparency = 0.5
End With
.Rotation = 315
.LockAspectRatio = True
.Height = InchesToPoints(2.42)
.Width = InchesToPoints(6.04)
With .WrapFormat
.AllowOverlap = True
.Side = wdWrapNone
.Type = 3
End With
.RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionMargin
.RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionMargin
'If using Word 2000 you may need to comment the 2
'lines above and uncomment the 2 below.
' .RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage
' .RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage
.Left = wdShapeCenter
.Top = wdShapeCenter
End With
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "An error occured trying to insert the watermark." & Chr(13) & _
"Error Number: " & Err.Number & Chr(13) & _
"Decription: " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error"
End Sub
Sub RemoveWaterMark()
Dim strWMName As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Select
strWMName = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Index
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes(strWMName).Select
Selection.Delete
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
'MsgBox "An error occured trying to remove the watermark." & Chr(13) & _
'"Error Number: " & Err.Number & Chr(13) & _
'"Decription: " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error"
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
End Sub
I've created an AutoOpen macro which checks the first five characters of the document for "DRAFT", "Draft" or "draft" and then it should call the appropriate Subroutine:
Sub AutoOpen()
Dim oldfilename As String
Dim draft As String
oldfilename = ActiveDocument.Name
draft = Left(oldfilename, 5)
Select Case draft
Case "DRAFT", "Draft", "draft"
Call InsertWaterMark
Case Else
Call RemoveWaterMark
End Select
Exit Sub
BUT I'm getting an error when the code branches to the InsertWatermark Subroutine and the line
.Name = strWMName
I then get an error:
An error occurred trying to insert the watermark. Error Number: 70 Description: Permission denied
How can I fix the error?
You need to convert Integer which comes from .Sections(1).Index property into string. Two suggestions:
.Name = Cstr(strWMName)
or
.Name = "WaterMarkName" & strWMName
Please remember to change accordingly in RemoveWaterMark subroutine.

Copying animation and sequence information between powerpoint shapes

I'm trying to replace all shape objects on the slide (pictures) with shape objects of another type (rectangular shape). I can delete old object and create new, but i will loose all animation information and sequence order. Is it possible to store animation information and order in timeline, and copy it to the new shape object?
Well, i have found a solution myself, hope someone could find it useful. So, it is not necessary to copy animation information from old shape to a new one, just cycle through sequence's items and replace the shape object refrence to the new shape. Like this:
On Error Resume Next
Dim shp1 As Shape 'old shape
Set shp1 = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3)
Dim shp2 As Shape 'new shape
Set shp2 = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddPicture("c:\imgres2.jpg", msoFalse, msoTrue, 0, 0) 'it is important to create new shape before cycling through existing ones.
For i = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence.count To 1 Step -1
'using "is" opeartor to compare refrences
If shp1 Is ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence.Item(i).Shape Then
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence.Item(i).Shape = shp2
End If
Next i
shp1.Delete 'delete the old shape
Try something like this code to copy the animation into new added shape:
Sub PasteAnimationBehaviours()
Dim SHP As Shape 'for existing shape
Set SHP = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1)
SHP.PickupAnimation
Dim newSHP As Shape 'pasting to new shape
Set newSHP = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 100, 100, 100, 100)
newSHP.ApplyAnimation
End Sub
Added after comment: If you only need to replace type of shape try to use something like this:
Sub ShapeSubstition()
Dim SHP As Shape 'for existing shape
'test for 1st shape in 1st slide
Set SHP = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1)
SHP.AutoShapeType = msoShapeRectangle 'to rectangle
SHP.AutoShapeType = msoShapeOval 'to oval
End Sub
I think it is probably easier to just use the "Animation Painter" command button to copy the animations and apply them to another object. The Animation Painter functions in the same way as the Format Painter. After you have copied the desired animations, you can reorder the individual animations using the Animation Pane.
This code shows how to copy effects from one shape to another. Select a shape before running routine "SetSourceShape" and select one or more shapes before running "PaintEffects".
