I have a question about VBA. I am currently working as a job student in a company where I have to adapt powerpoints to the new desing. Now on each powerpoint there should be a random picture from a certain list. For this purpose, a certain photo place holder is provided in the slidemaster. They say the best way to fill this placeholder is to copy and paste the photo into the placeholder. But I have a powerpoint of 500 slides and I was wondering if there is not a faster way for this that will save me time. I have very little knowledge of VBA myself so. Have already tried some things like the below code snippit from stack overflow but this did not work to solve my problem.
insert image image place holder excel vba powerpoint
I can possibly put these folders in a folder with certain number and so with a random in VBA so select an image.
Anyone happen to have solution for this problem?

I have turned a MS Word file into Powerpoint file using the instruction in this video:

after conversion
I want to unhighlight the text, then add a new text box (Red shape fill and Send behind text) with ANIMATION effect, put it in the position of the unhighlighted text like in the pictures.

Therefore, I can show the correct answer to my students when teaching using PPT.
I have about 100 slides like this but I don't have enough time to do it all manually.
Unfortunately, MS Powerpoint doesn't have Macro Recorder like in MS Word and I also don't know much about VBA code.
Is there any way to use VBA code to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I want to know if there is a way to link text boxes in PowerPoint in a similar fashion as Excel so that when I update one text box (for instance, changing the title of the presentation), the other linked text boxes will update by themselves. The purpose is to avoid having to go through the whole presentation to change manually every relevant slides. I don't think there is a build in function but I am fairly new to VBA in PowerPoint (have some experience with Excel already). Any input is very much appreciated, thank you!
I am working on developing weather graphics in PowerPoint 2010 for our online weather forecast operation. I am trying to update formatted text (Word Art type formatting, such as text outlining, shadowing, etc.,) automatically within a PowerPoint slide.
Click for example map
I have looked through the numerous articles both here and elsewhere on how to dynamically update text from Excel cells in PowerPoint and other methods, but I can't find any way of updating text such as the temperature values in the map above, while still keeping the visual formatting (which is absolutely crucial for this project). Is there any way to do this in text format, or would I just be better off developing the system so that the text values on the map are actually auto-updating images, so that the formatting is preserved? If that is the route I must take, I am fine with that. I just need pointed in the right direction. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you for your time...
I'm trying to use Excel to create AutoCAD drawings. I have a list of product numbers and I'd like to use VBA so that upon hitting a button it will find a block or a drawing file of every product on the list and paste them into an AutoCAD drawing (to a specific point would be a bonus).
So far I've found code that will read from two columns in Excel and will plot a polyline in ACAD using those columns as coordinates. It's very simple but not exactly what I want. Does anyone have suggestions or example code that does something similar? I've found some online using the "ThisDrawing." object but Excel isn't recognizing that so I've reached a stand still. I have all day tomorrow to work on it, so I'll be doing a lot more searching, but any help is definitely appreciated. Thank you
Autodesk provide free downloads on their website so that you can add the VBA IDE into AutoCAD.
Then, inside the AutoCAD IDE you start a new VBA project.
Add a reference to your Excel library so that you can read the Excel spreadsheet.
You need to look up on:
ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.InsertBlock
In the AutoCAD VBA manual. It tells you what various parameters. But they are straightforward - origin, scale, rotation, path to block.
When you call the InsertBlock routine it will create a AcadBlockReference object. You can do any further customization on that object.
In powerpoint 2010 I want to save an inserted textbox as a picture, which is simply done by right-clicking on the text box and save it. The saved image will however include a large amount of transparancy around the text. I am wondering whether this abundance of transparency around the text can be reduced, whithout using photo-editing programs.
I understand that powerpoint is not the right tool to use the beautifuly created texts for other purposes aside from office itself, however this would make things ten times easier for some coworkers of mine.
I hope someone can help me with this, also if it means using VBA or other (complex) codes/languages.
Thnx for your time.
Mike
Once you have typed your text in the textbox,
Copy the text box, right-click and paste as image
Now you have the image of the text box as you will get while saving that textbox as image - - using the save_as_image option
Select this image and click on format tab
You have an option to crop your image
Crop the image and save it as a picture
