what is the vba command for "Paste Special Microsoft Visio Drawing Object" Using PowerPoint 2010

Hi,

pls try

ActiveWindow.View.PasteSpecial DataType:=ppPasteOLEObject, Link:=msoFalse

Regards

Already tried...does not provide the same result as  Paste Special "Microsoft Visio Drawing Object" available from the Paste Special options.

Pls try to record the same action in Excel

Then we will be able to adapt it to PPT

You should get something like this (I suppose)

ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Microsoft Visio Document" _
        , Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False

Regards

This might help too. EMF objects can be usefully converted to native Microsoft Drawing objects which can then be edited in PowerPoint (and other MSO apps).

Option Explicit

Public Function PasteEMFtoSlideShapes(Optional Convert As Boolean) As ShapeRange
  On Error GoTo errorhandler
  Dim oShpRng As ShapeRange
  
  ' Paste the clipboard object as a vector in EMF format
  Set oShpRng = ActivePresentation.Slides(ActiveWindow.View.Slide.SlideIndex).Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteEnhancedMetafile, msoFalse)
  If Convert Then
    With oShpRng(1)
      ' Ungroup to convert to Microsoft Drawing Object
      .Ungroup.Select
      ' Now ungroup a second time to get the component shapes
      ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Ungroup
    End With
  End If
  
  Set PasteEMFtoSlideShapes = oShpRng
  
  ' Clean up
  Set oShpRng = Nothing
Exit Function

errorhandler:
  MsgBox "An error occured:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err & " : " & Err.Description, vbCritical + vbOK, "VBA Macro Error"
  Err.Clear
  Set oShpRng = Nothing
End Function

Select allOpen in new window

It was the easiest solution to implement.
