msoHyperlinkInlineShape doesn't work for inline images - vba

Here is a macro, which allows to replace hyperlinks across images.
(How to use it: copy some images to document, then add hyperlinks to each of them, for example, www.google.com, and then, using this macro, you can replace these hyperlinks to something different, for example www.stackoverflow.com. Test file uploaded here: https://ufile.io/qbdcp).
At first, I tried to use
If .Type = msoHyperlinkInlineShape
but for some reason, it doesn't work for inline images, which were copied from file manager (Ctrl-C in file manager, Ctrl-V in Word).
Then, I replaced it to
If .Type = msoHyperlinkShape
and now it works.
But I still wondering why I was forced to change msoHyperlinkInlineShape to msoHyperlinkShape, whereas I use inline pictures. Why msoHyperlinkInlineShape doesn't work?
Sub ReplaceHyperlinks()
Dim HL As Hyperlink
Dim sFind As String
Dim sRepl As String
Dim iCnt As Integer
sFind = InputBox("Find what", "Find Hyperlink")
If Len(sFind) = 0 Then Exit Sub
sRepl = InputBox("Replace with", "Replace Hyperlink")
If Len(sRepl) = 0 Then Exit Sub
iCnt = 0
For Each HL In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks
With HL
If .Type = msoHyperlinkShape Then ' msoHyperlinkInlineShape will not work for some reason
If InStr(LCase(.Address), LCase(sFind)) Then
.Address = Replace(.Address, sFind, sRepl, , , vbTextCompare)
.ScreenTip = Replace(.ScreenTip, sFind, sRepl, , , vbTextCompare)
On Error Resume Next
.Range.Fields.Update
iCnt = iCnt + 1
End If
If InStr(LCase(.TextToDisplay), LCase(sFind)) Then
.TextToDisplay = Replace(.TextToDisplay, sFind, sRepl, , , vbTextCompare)
.Range.Fields.Update
End If
End If
End With
Next
MsgBox ("Links replaced: " & iCnt)

In Excel-Word Interop, how do I use the File Object after using the Name function to rename it?

Overall objective: create an Excel-based file converter that interops with Word, changing several built-in document properties, header/footer text & pics, watermark, and file name. The new attributes/text/file paths are found in cells. After changing all these attributes, et al, the file is to be copied as a regular .docx to a new Output folder and also exported as a PDF to a separate PDF Output folder. Optionally the files in the input folder will be deleted after the other steps are completed.
Specific problem: After I rename any of the files using the Name function, the File Object (I'm using File Scripting Object) loses its reference to the old file (since it's renamed), but does not pick up on the new, renamed file. After renaming the file, I would like to make a copy of it into the word document output folder; then, with the original, I would export it to the PDF output folder. Finally, I would either delete it or leave it alone, depending on an optional boolean.
I have attempted to re-assign the File Object with the new file, but this doesn't seem to be possible, and nothing else in its properties or methods makes sense to use.

There are a few issues in your code. I don't understand why you are getting an error message, but if you fix your issues, you are in a better position of finding the main problem.
Put Option Explicit at the top. If you do that, you will not do mistakes like setting the variable file_name$ but reading from the variable FileName.
You are building a path with double backslashes. Perhaps not a big thing and it'll probably work. Add a Debug.Print Pth just before your troublesome If. Press Ctrl-G to show the debug pane and study the output. Does the printed file path exist?
Don't use vbNullString. Test with abc <> "" instead.

PPT change pathfile linked excel file with VBA

I have a problem regarding a linked Excel File to a Powerpoint presentation.
The Excel file is hosted on an external server which is assigned to a drive letter on all the PC´s in the company. The problem is that the link to the Excel file will randomly changed to where it is located on the external server.
I put a workaround in a Macro :
Global fso As New FileSystemObject
Public Sub MaakKoppelingenRelatief()
Dim i As Integer
Dim sld As Slide, shp As Shape
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.Type = 3 Then
Dim path As String, fname As String
path = shp.LinkFormat.SourceFullName
fname = GetFilenameFromPath(path)
shp.LinkFormat.SourceFullName = fname
i = i + 1
End If
Next
Next
If i > 0 Then
MsgBox "Changed: " & CStr(i) & " Links", vbOK
Else
MsgBox "Couldn't find a linked file.", vbOK
End If
End Sub
Function GetFilenameFromPath(ByVal strPath As String) As String
Dim text1 As String
text1 = "N:\"
If Right$(strPath, 13) <> "\\tsclient\N\" And Len(strPath) > 0 Then
GetFilenameFromPath = GetFilenameFromPath(Left$(strPath, Len(strPath) - 1)) + Right$(strPath, 1)
End If
If Left$(strPath, 3) <> text1 And Len(strPath) > 0 Then
GetFilenameFromPath = text1 + strPath
End If
End Function
The problem I'm having is in this piece of code :
If Left$(strPath, 3) <> text1 And Len(strPath) > 0 Then
GetFilenameFromPath = text1 + strPath
End If
It keeps adding text1 to my path, while it only should do so when text1 is currently not in the first 3 characters of the path.
Can someone help me figure out what I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Text comparison in VBA is kind of irritating sometimes. Instead of using
if Left$(strPath, 3) <> text1
try this:
If StrComp(Left$(StrPath,3),text1) <> 0
And if that doesn't work, try this one:
If InStr(1,Left$(StrPath,3),text1) = 0

click shape or button (preview/close) that displays an image

I am new to VBA and seeking help on a work project. I have done some research and got started but am now over my head.
My objectives are:
Create a click shape or button (preview/close) that displays an image from another location on computer.
The image displayed will be dependent on the data input (col A: patient name; same name of jpeg image) for each name that is entered in the same row.
Also I would like a new button/shape to be automatically created in the corresponding cell when a new name is added
Thanks Rick

While your original code was actually working, I made a few slight adjustments to ensure that all (multiple) pictures are included / shown on the sheet and to align these picture below each other. Have a look at the comments in the code and let me know what you think:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim strPath As String
Dim picItem As Picture
Dim shtPatient As Worksheet
'If there are multiple pictures then they should be shown
' underneath each other. dblLeft and dblTop will be used
' to place the next picture underneath the last one.
Dim dblTop As Double
Dim dblLeft As Double
Set shtPatient = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
strPath = "F:\CAD_CAM division\Unsorted Models\"
With shtPatient.Shapes("Rounded Rectangle 1").TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters
If .Text = "Close" Then
.Text = "Preview"
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Delete
Else
.Text = "Close"
For lngRow = 2 To shtPatient.Cells(shtPatient.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'First check if the file actually exists / can be found and inserted
If Dir(strPath & shtPatient.Cells(lngRow, 1).Value2 & ".jpg") <> "" Then
Set picItem = shtPatient.Pictures.Insert(strPath & shtPatient.Cells(lngRow, 1).Value2 & ".jpg")
'Name the picture so it can be found afterwards again using VBA
picItem.Name = shtPatient.Cells(lngRow, 1).Value2 & ".jpg"
If lngRow = 2 Then
picItem.Top = shtPatient.Range("F2").Top
picItem.Left = shtPatient.Range("F2").Left
dblTop = picItem.Top + picItem.Height + 10
dblLeft = picItem.Left
Else
picItem.Top = dblTop
picItem.Left = dblLeft
dblTop = picItem.Top + picItem.Height + 10
End If
End If
Next lngRow
End If

Exporting PowerPoint sections into separate files

Every week I separate a long PowerPoint file into separate files. The files must be in PowerPoint format, and contain only the slides that are contained in the 'sections' from the PowerPoint file.
I need to:
1) Scan to see the number of slides in a given section
2) Make a file containing the slides within that section
3) Name that file the same as the name of the section, and save it in the same directory as the source file.
4) Repeat the process for subsequent sections.
5) Do this without damaging the original file.
I've located code (http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ01086_Break_a_presentation_up_into_several_smaller_presentations.htm) that can break the file into many parts, but only by the number of files requested per file. I found some other helpful references here: http://skp.mvps.org/2010/ppt001.htm
I have coded in Basic and a number of easy gaming scripting languages. I need help understanding how this is done in VBA.
Since you do this very often, you should make an Add-In for this. The idea is to create copies of the presentation up to the number of sections in it, then open each one and delete the other sections and save.
Create blank presentation with macros enabled (*.pptm) and possibly add Custom UI button to call SplitIntoSectionFiles
Test and when satisfy, save as PowerPoint Add-In (*.ppam). Don't delete the pptm file!
Assuming that all are pptx files you are dealing with, you can use this code. It opens the splited pptx files in background, then remove irrelevant sections and save, close. If all goes well you get a message box.
Private Const PPT_EXT As String = ".pptx"
Sub SplitIntoSectionFiles()
On Error Resume Next
Dim aNewFiles() As Variant, sPath As String, i As Long
With ActivePresentation
sPath = .Path & "\"
For i = 1 To .SectionProperties.Count
ReDim Preserve aNewFiles(i)
' Store the Section Names
aNewFiles(i - 1) = .SectionProperties.Name(i)
' Force Save Copy as pptx format
.SaveCopyAs sPath & aNewFiles(i - 1), ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation
' Call Sub to Remove irrelevant sections
RemoveOtherSections sPath & aNewFiles(i - 1) & PPT_EXT
Next
If .SectionProperties.Count > 0 And Err.Number = 0 Then MsgBox "Successfully split " & .Name & " into " & UBound(aNewFiles) & " files."
End With
End Sub
Private Sub RemoveOtherSections(sPPT As String)
On Error Resume Next
Dim oPPT As Presentation, i As Long
Set oPPT = Presentations.Open(FileName:=sPPT, WithWindow:=msoFalse)
With oPPT
' Delete Sections from last to first
For i = .SectionProperties.Count To 1 Step -1
' Delete Sections that are not in the file name
If Not InStr(1, .Name, .SectionProperties.Name(i), vbTextCompare) = 1 Then
' Delete the Section, along with the slides associated with it
.SectionProperties.Delete i, True
End If
Next
.Save
.Close

Read about Custom UI if you don't have experience creating you own ribbon tab: msdn and use the "Office Custom UI Editor", I would use imageMso "CreateModule" for the button.
None of the proposed routines actually works, so I wrote mine from scratch:
Sub Split()
Dim original_pitch As Presentation
Set original_pitch = ActivePresentation
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
With original_pitch
.SaveCopyAs _
FileName:=fso.BuildPath(.Path, fso.GetBaseName(.Name) & ".pptx"), _
FileFormat:=ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation
End With
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To original_pitch.SectionProperties.Count
Dim pitch_segment As Presentation
Set pitch_segment = Presentations.Open(Replace(original_pitch.FullName, "pptm", "pptx"))
section_name = pitch_segment.SectionProperties.Name(i)
For k = original_pitch.SectionProperties.Count To 1 Step -1
If pitch_segment.SectionProperties.Name(k) <> section_name Then pitch_segment.SectionProperties.Delete k, True
Next k
With pitch_segment
.SaveCopyAs _
FileName:=fso.BuildPath(.Path, original_pitch.SectionProperties.Name(i) & ".pptx"), _
FileFormat:=ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation
.Close
End With
Next i
MsgBox "Split completed successfully!"
End Sub
I could not get the above code to work.
However this is simpler and does work:
Sub SplitToSectionsByChen()
daname = ActivePresentation.Name
For i = 1 To ActivePresentation.SectionProperties.Count
For j = ActivePresentation.SectionProperties.Count To 1 Step -1
If i <> j Then ActivePresentation.SectionProperties.Delete j, True
Next j
ActivePresentation.SaveAs ActivePresentation.SectionProperties.Name(1)
ActivePresentation.Close
Presentations.Open (daname)
Next i
End Sub

original_File.SaveCopyAs DupeName, ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation
origName = Left(original_File.Name, InStrRev(original_File.Name, ".") - 1)
For lIndex = 1 To original_File.SectionProperties.Count
If original_File.SectionProperties.SlidesCount(lIndex) > 0 Then
Set File_Segment = Presentations.Open(DupeName, msoTrue, , msoFalse)
File_name = File_Segment.SectionProperties.Name(lIndex)
For K = original_File.SectionProperties.Count To 1 Step -1
If File_Segment.SectionProperties.Name(K) <> File_name Then
Call File_Segment.SectionProperties.Delete(K, 1)
End If
Next K
outputFname = pathSep & origName & "_" & original_File.SectionProperties.Name(lIndex) & "_" & Format(Date, "YYYYMMDD")
With File_Segment
