Hi Jamal,

As written, the code simply inserts text content from column A in the Excel workbook into the first textbox on the new slides it creates (it also inserts a picture onto the page - as per the OP's requirements). You don't need your <Name> or <Course> tags for that. Obviously, if your needs are different, the code would need to be modified to suit - it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.

PS: Please don't automatically quote the entire previous post in your replies. If there is a particular element in the previous post that you need to reference, quote just that part.
