Hello forum and thanks to all for taking the time to look at this.
I am writing some Excel VBA to control PowerPoint (excel as host). I need to move a picture by its picture name and rename a picture by its picture name, something like this
Code:
ActiveWindow.ShapeRange(1).("Picture 3").left(30)
and
Code:
ActiveWindow.ShapeRange(1).("Picture 4").rename("Picture5")
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
Sub TestCode()
Dim ppte As Object
'Open Existing PPT
Set ppte = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
'Do something
With ppte
.Visible = True
.Presentations.Open (PathAndFilename) 'include file extension '.ppt'
'Do some operations (works great)
.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide 5
.ActivePresentation.Slides(5).Shapes("Picture 32").Delete 'left one
'Do some operations (code does not work)
.ActiveWindow.Slides(5).Shapes("Picture 31").Left (30) 'run-time error
.ActivePresentation.Slides(5).Shapes("Picture 31").rename ("RenameTest") 'run-time error.
End With
End Sub
This code works in an Excel module.
