Hi,

using powerpoint 2003 - need a macro which will add a presentation from another presentation. Ive tried this


ActivePresentation.Slides.InsertFromFile _


"S:\XXX.ppt", 0, 2, 2

However as its indexed the new slide will always land at the front - is there a way to create a macro which doesn't need an index - but rather you select where you want the slide and then run the macro? If there are any ideas please let me know - ive seen a few but they don't explain how to incorporate the above code into the other coding. Please help!

all good solved myself - incase anyone wants to know

Sub NAME_OF_MACRO()

If ActiveWindow.Selection.Type = ppSelectionNone Then
ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide
ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter

If ActiveWindow.Selection.Type = ppSelectionSlides Then
CurrentSlideIndex = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex
ActivePresentation.Slides.InsertFromFile _
"C:\....ADD YOUR FILE LOCATION HERE", CurrentSlideIndex, 17, 17
ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewNormal
Else
CurrentSlideIndex = 0 ' no slides
End If
Else
CurrentSlideIndex = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex
End If
End Sub
