The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Excel VBA open specific PowerPoint file

Asked by murbro in Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation Software, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Hi
I am using the following code to paste to PowerPoint.
If the user specifies a file path and name in the text box txtFilePath
then I want to paste to that range. How would I alter the code to achieve this


Sub Paste_to_PowerPoint(ByVal blnPasteChartLink As Boolean)
     On Error GoTo EH
     
     'Requires a reference to the Microsoft PowerPoint Library via the Tools - Reference menu in the VBE
    Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
    Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
         
    AddSlidesToEnd = True
         
     'Look for existing instance
    On Error Resume Next
    Set PPApp = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
    On Error GoTo 0 'Disables enabled error handler in the current procedure and resets it to Nothing.
     
     'Create new instance if no instance exists
    If PPApp Is Nothing Then Set PPApp = New PowerPoint.Application
     'Add a presentation if none exists
    If PPApp.Presentations.Count = 0 Then PPApp.Presentations.Add
     
     'Make the instance visible
    PPApp.Visible = True
     
     'Check that a slide exits, if it doesn't add 1 slide. Else use the last slide for the paste operation
    If PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count = 0 Then
        Set PPSlide = PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
    Else
        If AddSlidesToEnd Then
             'Appends slides to end of presentation and makes last slide active
            PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutBlank
            PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
            Set PPSlide = PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides(PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)
        Else
             'Sets current slide to active slide
            Set PPSlide = PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.Slide
        End If
    End If

        If blnPasteChartLink = True Then
             'Copy & Paste   Linked
            PPSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(link:=True).Select
        Else
             'Copy & Paste  Not Linked
            PPSlide.Shapes.Paste.Select
        End If
 
 
 
     'Center pasted object in the slide
    PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
    PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
     
    AppActivate ("Microsoft PowerPoint")
    Set PPSlide = Nothing
    Set PPApp = Nothing
     Exit Sub
