John, my appoligies for a slow reply, had out of town visitors over till this morning. Your lastest reply was very helpful. Deleting a slide by name moves me ahead nicely.
I still need to move a picture by name, something like
Code:
ActiveWindow.ShapeRange(1).("MyName").left(30)
and rename a picture by name, something like
Code:
ActiveWindow.ShapeRange(1).("MyName").rename("NewName")
but I think I should mark this thread as solved and post this question under a new thread (which I will post right after this).
John, thank you for your help, this was a hard nut for me to crack, I really appreciate your input. This forum is a powerful resource. And thanks to all who visited.
