Right now, however, it takes the section in the Print Area, copies the entire selection to 1 picture and paste that one picture in Power Point (EE Example with Current Code.pptx).
I need to this to be broken out into pages as it appears in the Print Preview in the Attached excel file. It should copy and paste to excel like in the attached file (EE Example with Desired Code.pptx).
So the data is in the attached excel file on sheet2. Right now, its pasting in the powerpoint slide as in the EE Example with Current Code.pptx and I would like for it instead to show as it does in EE Example with Desired Code.pptx.
An takers?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
