How do you identify the ID of a picture in PowerPoint?
Hi Forum, I have a slide with 3 pictures on it, I presume each picture has a separate ID (Picture 1, 2 3???) but how do I see the ID? I am writing an Excel based automation that deletes pictures on variou slides based on users input, the user must specify which of the 3 pictures to delete. I don't want to say "the middle one!, (hahaha). In Excel, when you click on a chart or autoshape, the ID appears in the label field (beside f of x).
I just spent an hour on the internet, with no luck. Thanks for your help on this.
Incidentally, if, by chance, the PowerPont GUI cannot display the picture ID (I hope this is not the case), can someone suggest some VBA code that would report the user selected picture by msgbox. I could set this code to a hot key and msgbox the ID to the user. But seriously, it's hard to believe the GUI does not do this.
