You'd be amazed how many folk don't think declaring variables correctly is important! (Well maybe not)

I'm building a PowerPoint (2010) template to conform to our new company design. &nbsp;It includes a lot of round picture placeholders. &nbsp; Manually, it's easy to create a new slide layout, insert a picture placeholder (which comes in by default as a rectangle), then use change shape to change it to an oval. &nbsp; I just need to accomplish that with VBA. &nbsp;The following code creates a new layout and adds the picture placeholder. &nbsp;<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28354114-1">layoutcount = ActivePresentation.Designs(1).SlideMaster.CustomLayouts.Count

Set newlayout = ActivePresentation.Designs(1).SlideMaster.CustomLayouts _
    .Add(layoutcount + 1)

Set ph = newlayout.Shapes.AddPlaceholder(ppPlaceholderPicture, _
    Left:=100, Top:=200, Width:=100, Height:=100)</code></pre>

Now how would I change &quot;ph&quot; to an oval?<br />
