Change 'Create Handouts' behaviour
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the behaviour of "File | Create Handouts" in PowerPoint? Basically when I export my slides into Word as a handout, I want to be able to read the title of the slide and have that text written underneath the embedded slides in Word. Any guidance is appreciated. Cheers Anthony |

You cannot change the behaviour as such but you might be able to use the Notes below slides option and have a macro in PowerPoint copy the required text to the notes pane for each slide. (Not clear whether you want JUST the title ot the title and slide text.)
It might also be possible to create the complete handout using code but this wouldn't be a trivial task. |

Thanks for the tips John. Pulling the title off the slide and putting in into the notes before sending to Word would work for me.

This should do it I think (top of head code - not tested.) NOTE as written existing notes will be deleted.
Code:
Sub copyText_to_Notes() Dim osld As Slide Dim oshp As Shape Dim strTitle As String For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides If osld.Shapes.HasTitle Then strTitle = osld.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange End If For Each oshp In osld.NotesPage.Shapes If oshp.Type = msoPlaceholder Then If oshp.PlaceholderFormat.Type = 2 Then oshp.TextFrame.TextRange = strTitle End If End If Next oshp Next osld End Sub INSERT > Module Paste in the code Run (f5) |
