Default Difference between Slides.addSlide and Slides.Add?

Code:
Sub AddSlides()

With ActivePresentation

''' the pCustomLayout parameter is the same as ppLayoutTitle?
    .Slides.AddSlide 1, .SlideMaster.CustomLayouts(1)

''' The ".Slides.Add" is auto-corrected as ".Slides.AddSlide", why?
    .Slides.Add 1, ppLayoutTitle
End With

End Sub
Please see the two comment lines.


Thanks.

From the articles
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.14%29.aspx
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff746586.aspx

It seems to me that addSlide allows users to use a custom layout but add allows users to use PpSlideLayout.

But why in PowerPoint 2010 does it correct me from add to addSlide but actually it does support "add"? Does that mean PowerPoint 2010 encourages users to use addSlide to add a new slide to the presentation and add is an old use?

addslide is specific to 2007 onwards versions that support custom layouts. In these versions it is the default. All versions still support the legacy 2003 add method.
