Powerpoint VBA copy text from tables - vba

Question

I am trying to create a macro which copies the text from all the tables in a slide. I can select the tables but failed to copy text entries from tables. I need to paste the copied text to a excel spreadsheet.
Here is the script:
Option Explicit
Sub GetTableNames()
Dim pptpres As Presentation
Set pptpres = ActivePresentation
Dim pptSlide As Slide
Set pptSlide = Application.ActiveWindow.View.Slide
Dim pptShapes As Shape
Dim pptTable As Table
For Each pptSlide In pptpres.Slides
For Each pptShapes In pptSlide.Shapes
If pptShapes.HasTable Then
Set pptTable = pptShapes.Table
pptShapes.Select msoFalse
pptShapes.TextFrame.TextRange.Copy
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

Answer 1

Try this code:
Sub GetTableNames()
Dim pptpres As Presentation
Set pptpres = ActivePresentation
Dim pptSlide As Slide
Set pptSlide = Application.ActiveWindow.View.Slide
Dim pptShapes As Shape, pptTable As Table
Dim XL As Object, WS As Object
Dim arr As Variant, nextTablePlace As Integer, cnt As Integer
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With XL.Workbooks.Add
Set WS = .Worksheets(1)
End With
nextTablePlace = 1 ' to output first table content into Worksheet
For Each pptSlide In pptpres.Slides
For Each pptShapes In pptSlide.Shapes
If pptShapes.HasTable Then
cnt = cnt + 1
Set pptTable = pptShapes.Table
WS.Cells(nextTablePlace, 1) = "Table #: " & cnt ' caption for each table
nextTablePlace = nextTablePlace + 1
ReDim arr(1 To pptTable.Rows.Count, 1 To pptTable.Columns.Count) ' resize array to table dimensions
For rr = 1 To pptTable.Rows.Count
For cc = 1 To pptTable.Columns.Count
arr(rr, cc) = pptTable.Cell(rr, cc).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text 'get text from each cell into array
Next
Next
' flush the arr to Worksheet
WS.Cells(nextTablePlace, 1).Resize(pptTable.Rows.Count, pptTable.Columns.Count) = arr
' to next place with gap
nextTablePlace = nextTablePlace + pptTable.Rows.Count + 2
End If
Next
Next
XL.Visible = True
End Sub
