How to automate to insert the document title in each slide of the powerpoint presentation using VBA
I had this question after viewing Replacing text in PowerPoint 2016 using VBA.
Is it possible that I can insert a custom textbox in slide theme and it gets updated in actual slides ?
Here what I am trying to do in power point VBA which I have done successfully in Visio VBA.
I want to put the presentation file name on all slides of a presentation. I have 50+ such presentations containing 25+ slides in each presentation. The above code requires that I insert a text box on each of the slide manually and then it works if I run the macro. Any suggestion how to automate the process using Powerpoint VBA ?
I do not want to change the slides theme for each presentation by inserting a text box with file name. That would defeat the purpose of automation. Visio VBA does it very easily by using code in Auotexec module for each slidepack.
