Good day,
I have got this code to modify the size and position of every shape on all slides, but would like the procedure to start ONLY from slide 2.
Sub SlideLoop()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oSh As Shape
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
' check each shape on the slide
' is it an image or whatever you're looking for?
For Each oSh In osld.Shapes
With oSh
If .Type = msoLinkedPicture _
Or .Type = msoPicture Then
' position it to taste
.Left = 30
.Top = 100
.Height = 750
.Width = 680
' centering/resizing gets trickier
' but is still possible.
' Exercise for the reader?
' Hint:
' ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideWidth and .SlideHeight
' tells you the width and height of the slide
'
' All values are in Points (72 to the inch)
End If
End With
Next ' Shape
Next osld ' Slide
End Sub}
What do I need to change?
Check the SlideIndex property of the slides - if it is 1, you skip to the next slide.
Just inside the For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides loop, add an if statement:
If osld.SlideIndex > 1 Then
'Your code...
For Each oSh In osld.Shapes
...
Next ' Shape
End If
Olle's correct. Or another approach, my changes in BOLD:
Sub SlideLoop()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oSh As Shape
Dim x as Long
'For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For x = 2 to ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
Set oSld = ActivePresentation.Slides(x)
' check each shape on the slide
' is it an image or whatever you're looking for?
For Each oSh In osld.Shapes
With oSh
If .Type = msoLinkedPicture _
Or .Type = msoPicture Then
' position it to taste
.Left = 30
.Top = 100
.Height = 750
.Width = 680
' centering/resizing gets trickier
' but is still possible.
' Exercise for the reader?
' Hint:
' ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideWidth and .SlideHeight
' tells you the width and height of the slide
'
' All values are in Points (72 to the inch)
End If
End With
Next ' Shape
Next osld ' Slide
End Sub

I am trying to create a "sticker" macro for PowerPoint. In short terms I have a button that marks selected slides with a shape that says "Done". This macro is working. However, I also need a macro that deletes the done-sticker on selected slides. What I have right now manages to delete the shape if only one slide is selected. I am very new to VBA in PowerPoint.
Add sticker macro (that works):
Sub StickerDone()
Dim StickerText As String
Dim sld As Slide
StickerText = "Done"
Dim shp As Shape
For Each sld In ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange
'Create shape with Specified Dimensions and Slide Position
Set shp = sld.Shapes.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
Left:=0 * 28.3464567, Top:=0 * 28.3464567, Width:=80, Height:=26.6)
'FORMAT SHAPE
'Shape Name
shp.Name = "StickerDone"
'No Shape Border
shp.Line.Visible = msoFalse
'Shape Fill Color
shp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(56, 87, 35)
'Shape Text Color
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
'Text inside Shape
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Characters.Text = StickerText
'Center Align Text
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraphs.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignCenter
'Vertically Align Text to Middle
shp.TextFrame2.VerticalAnchor = msoAnchorMiddle
'Adjust Font Size
shp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Size = 14
'Adjust Font Style
shp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Name = "Corbel"
'Rotation
shp.Rotation = 0
Next sld
End Sub
Delete sticker macro (that does not work):
Sub StickerDelete()
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sld As Slide
For Each sld In ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.Name Like "StickerDone" Then
shp.Select
shp.Delete
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
Deleting objects you are iterating over is generally a bad idea. Add them to an array and delete them after your (inner) loop is done.
Try this:
Sub StickerDelete()
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sld As Slide
ReDim ShapesToDelete(0)
Dim ShapeCount
For Each sld In ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.Name Like "StickerDone" Then
'shp.Select
'shp.Delete
ShapeCount = ShapeCount + 1
ReDim Preserve ShapesToDelete(0 To ShapeCount)
Set ShapesToDelete(ShapeCount) = shp
End If
Next shp
Next sld
For i = 1 To ShapeCount
ShapesToDelete(i).Delete
Next
End Sub
I have the following macro that aligns 1 selected picture at a time in Power Point:
Sub Align()
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
.Left = 50
.Top = 100
End With
End Sub
This code works if I run the macro on a selected picture in a slide.
But how can I run this script for each picture of all slides?
This will do that for you Jose:
' PowerPoint VBA to reposition all pictures in all slides in a deck
' Written by Jamie Garroch of YOUpresent Ltd.
' http://youpresent.co.uk/
Option Explict
Sub RepositionAllPictures()
Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oShp as Shape
For Each oSld in ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oShp in oSld.Shapes
If oShp.Type = msoPicture Then RepositionShape oShp
If oShp.Type = msoPlaceholder Then
If oShp.PlaceholderFormat.ContainedType = msoPicture Or _
oShp.PlaceholderFormat.ContainedType = msoLinkedPicture Then _
RepositionShape oShp
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
Sub RepositionShape(oShp As Shape)
oShp.Left = 50
oShp.Top = 100
End Sub
Alright, so for a PHP script, i need all non-image objects to be converted to images (excluding text) from a .pptx file. As i have quite a lot .pptx files, i tought that i might as well use VBA.
For some reason however, my Else If is acting weird.
Sub nieuwemacro()
Dim oSl As Slide
Dim oSh As Shape
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oSh In oSl.Shapes
' MsgBox (oSh.Type)
' modify the following depending on what you want to
' convert
If oSh.Type = 1 Then
ConvertShapeToPic oSh
Else
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
Sub ConvertShapeToPic(ByRef oSh As Shape)
Dim oNewSh As Shape
Dim oSl As Slide
oSh.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Set oSl = oSh.Parent
oSh.Copy
Set oNewSh = oSl.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPastePNG)(1)
With oNewSh
.Left = oSh.Left
.Top = oSh.Top
Do
.ZOrder (msoSendBackward)
Loop Until .ZOrderPosition = .ZOrderPosition
End With
oSh.Delete
End Sub
The oSh.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0) part is just there to see what happens. And this is the result:
Alright.. So everything is converted properly, except for the big pink ball. So i thought i'd try some other Else ifs. My new Else If statement:
If oSh.Type = 1 Then
ConvertShapeToPic oSh
ElseIf oSh.Type = 14 Then
ConvertShapeToPic oSh
Else
End If
Resulting in this:
Notice how the code now doesnt convert the green bar at the top? It does that when i add or remove IfElse parts...
I don't know why it does this, could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
try this
Option Explicit
Sub nieuwemacro()
Dim oSl As Slide
Dim oSh As Shape
Dim oShs() As Shape
Dim nShps As Long, iShp As Long
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
ReDim oShs(1 To oSl.Shapes.Count) As Shape
For Each oSh In oSl.Shapes
' MsgBox (oSh.Type)
' modify the following depending on what you want to
' convert
If oSh.Type = 1 Then
nShps = nShps + 1
Set oShs(nShps) = oSh
End If
Next
If nShps > 0 Then
For iShp = 1 To nShps
ConvertShapeToPic oShs(iShp)
Next iShp
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub ConvertShapeToPic(ByRef oSh As Shape)
Dim oNewSh As Shape
Dim oSl As Slide
oSh.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Set oSl = oSh.Parent
oSh.Copy
Set oNewSh = oSl.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPastePNG)(1)
With oNewSh
.Left = oSh.Left
.Top = oSh.Top
Do
.ZOrder (msoSendBackward)
Loop Until .ZOrderPosition = .ZOrderPosition
End With
oSh.Delete
End Sub
You may also want to consider the following refactoring:
Option Explicit
Sub nieuwemacro()
Dim oSl As Slide
Dim oShs() As Shape
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
oShs = GetShapes(oSl, msoAutoShape) '<--| gather shapes of given type and...
ConvertShapesToPics oShs '<--| ...convert them
Next
End Sub
Function GetShapes(oSl As Slide, shType As MsoShapeType) As Shape()
Dim oSh As Shape
Dim nShps As Long
With oSl.Shapes '<--| reference passed slide Shapes collection
ReDim oShs(1 To .Count) As Shape '<--| resize shapes array to referenced slide shapes number (i.e. to maximum possible)
For Each oSh In .Range '<--| loop through referenced slide shapes
If oSh.Type = shType Then '<--| if its type matches the passed one
nShps = nShps + 1 '<--| update gathered shapes counter
Set oShs(nShps) = oSh '<--| fill gathered shapes array
End If
Next
End With
If nShps > 0 Then '<--| if any shape has been gathered
ReDim Preserve oShs(1 To nShps) As Shape '<--| resize array properly ...
GetShapes = oShs '<--| ... and return it
End If
End Function
Sub ConvertShapesToPics(oShs() As Shape)
Dim iShp As Long
If IsArray(oShs) Then '<--| if array has been initialized ...
For iShp = 1 To UBound(oShs) '<--|... then loop through its elements (shapes)
ConvertShapeToPic oShs(iShp) '<--| convert current shape
Next iShp
End If
End Sub
Sub ConvertShapeToPic(ByRef oSh As Shape)
With oSh '<--| reference passed shape
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0) '<--| change its forecolor
.Copy '<--| copy it
With .Parent.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPastePNG)(1) '<--| reference pasted shape
.Left = oSh.Left '<--| adjust its Left position
.Top = oSh.Top '<--| adjust its Top position
Do
.ZOrder (msoSendBackward)
Loop Until .ZOrderPosition = .ZOrderPosition
End With
.Delete '<--| delete referenced passed shape
End With
End Sub
Finally, you may want to shorten down "main" sub by two lines more like follwos
Sub nieuwemacro()
Dim oSl As Slide
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
ConvertShapesToPics GetShapes(oSl, msoAutoShape) '<--| convert shapes of given type
Next
End Sub
where GetShapes(), ConvertShapesToPics() and ConvertShapeToPic() stays the same.
so I have this line of code which works fine for just 1 ppt-file.
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment=ppAlignCenter
How can i make this work for all powerpoint files in the same folder with VBA? So that it knows that it selects the top most TextFrame and then AlignCenters it.
Or even when all PPTs are open if that's easier..
This will select the shape that is positioned closest to the top of the slide:
Option Explicit
' Selects the shape that support text which is closest to the top of the slide
' Written by Jamie Garroch of YOUpresent Ltd (http://youpresent.co.uk)
Sub SelectHigestTextShape()
Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oShp As Shape, oShpTop As Shape
Dim sShpTop As Single
On Error Resume Next
Set oSld = ActiveWindow.View.Slide
If Err Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo 0
' Set the top to the bottom of the slide
sShpTop = ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideHeight
' Check each shape on the slide is positioned above the stored position
' Shapes not supporting text and placeholders are ignored
For Each oShp In oSld.Shapes
If oShp.Top < sShpTop And oShp.HasTextFrame And Not oShp.Type = msoPlaceholder Then
sShpTop = oShp.Top
Set oShpTop = oShp
End If
Next
' Select the topmost shape
If Not oShpTop Is Nothing Then oShpTop.Select msoTrue
' Clean up
Set oSld = Nothing
Set oShp = Nothing
Set oShpTop = Nothing
End Sub
First of all I'm new to VBA.
I would like to go to move a shape from one slide to the following slide. And I want to do it for each slide of the presentation. (in edit mode)
Dim Sld As Slide
Dim Shp As Shape
For Each Sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each Shp In Sld.Shapes
With Shp
If .Type = msoAutoShape _
And .Left = 715 _
And .Top = 366 _
Then
/!\ In the next slide /!\
.Left = 50 'change the number for desired x position
.Top = 50 'change the number for desired y position
End If
End With
Next 'Shape
Next Sld ' Slide
this is the code I have so far. It is working to move shapes inside the same slide, but I don't really know what to add move the shape in the next slide.
Thank you in advancefor your help.
Here's a little snippet that should help:
' Copy the shape to the clipboard:
Shp.Copy
' Paste the shape to the next slide
' Shp.Parent gives you a reference to the slide the shape is on
' Shp.Parent.SlideIndex + 1 gives you a reference to the NEXT slide
ActivePresentation.Slides(Shp.Parent.SlideIndex + 1).Shapes.Paste
' And delete the original shape
Shp.Delete
You'll need to make sure that there really IS a next slide, of course. ActivePresentation.Slides.Count will tell you how many slides there are.
