I use this feature often and it's been working but with a recent update, the slides no longer display the synced icon by the slide number and when i open the document it doesnt update.

Any fix?

Hi!  We are testing our existing files before upgrading from Office 2010 to Office 365 (Office 2016).

We have a complicated Excel frontend created by users to process data and automatically create charts and graphs and ultimately export everything directly to PowerPoint.

We have done a ton of testing but have only come across one problem that I can't seem to resolve.

VB code that copies and paste a chart from Excel to PowerPoint works in Office 2010 but not in 2016.  
Here's how the code currently exists in Office 2010.

        Set activeSlide = pp.ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
        ActiveSheet.Range("BX146:BY158").Select
        ActiveSheet.Range("BX146:BY158").Copy
        activeSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(DataType:=ppPasteOLEObject).Select

Select all Open in new window

This gives us the following error in 2016.
Run-time error '424':
Object required
(also see screenshot in Word doc)

I read posts online and made the following code changes but ended up with the same error.

   
        Set activeSlide = pp.ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
        ActiveSheet.Range("BX146:BY158").Select
        ActiveSheet.Range("BX146:BY158").Copy
       '9/5/18 activeSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(DataType:=ppPasteOLEObject).Select 'Runs table
        '9/5/18
        Dim pptshape As PowerPoint.Shape
        Set pptshape = activeSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(DataType:=ppPasteOLEObject)
        pptshape.Select
        '9/5/18 end

Select all Open in new window

As I said, this code runs fine in Excel 2010.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?  Also, please note that we need to be able to paste the object (which is a table in Excel) so that PowerPoint links to the table in Excel and "sees" any updates that may be made in Excel to the table.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

i have a powerpoint presentation with 10 slides. I would like to create an index page where all the index numbers (1-10) are linked to their appropriate slide. So, clicking slide 4 in the index will automatically go to the actual slide 4.
Can one write a macro that will create the index page with links , say slide 1, for any amount of slides in a presentation?

Thank you,
CC

In the code below, I pass the FillFormat object of a selected shape to the function. I then pass the FillFormat object for the text within the selected shape but it raises a Type Mismatch error. The FillFormat object TypeName is the same in both cases and it only appears as a member of the PowerPoint library and is not duplicated in the Office library. I know I can declare oFF As Object but I'd prefer to understand why am I getting this mismatch error in the first place? To test, you just need to select a shape with some text in it on a slide and then run the Test procedure.

Sub Test()
  ' Format the fill for the selected shape
  Debug.Print TypeName(ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Fill)
  ChangeFillFormat ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Fill
  
  ' Format the fill for the text inside the selected shape
  Debug.Print TypeName(ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Fill)
  ChangeFillFormat ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Fill
End Sub

Function ChangeFillFormat(oFF As FillFormat)
  ' Do stuff with the fill format
End Function

I have a powerpoint 2016 presentation that I need to send out shortly.  It is critical that I lock it for editing, but it still needs to be able to be printed.
Converting to .pdf is not an option as it must remain in powerpoint.  I cant seem to find a way to do this anymore!  Help.  When I go to File > Info > Protect Presentaion I only see the ability to add a password to open the document...not to restrict for editing.   When I click  'Restrict Access' there is a choice 'Connect to rights management server and get templates'  … which doesn't work, says my machine is not setup, etc, etc.    Mark as Final sounds promising...but seems to still allow anyone to click 'edit anyway' and get past it.

Is there any simple way to restrict editing only?  Need to get this out shortly so a bit desperate for help.  Thanks

Hi,

I am in the process of creating a visual IT process diagram using images. However, I am unable to find the type of images I need. I am building the diagram in Visio and can import the images if I had them or knew where to get them. I have attached a file with the type(s) of images I am seeking.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,

I have a presentation that includes about 20% hidden slides.
I don't want to show any hidden slides.

I can't work out how to do a full screen presentation without the hidden slides showing.
(I'm using Powerpoint 2016).

Regards,
Leigh

I have a table in Powerpoint. When I increase the width of one column with the mouse, it eats into the width of the neighboring column.

How can I change the width of one column, without affecting the width of the neighboring column? Instead, if I widen one column by 1 inch, the overall table should just become one inch longer.

Hi Experts.  I'm copying a file to a remote pc and would like to see whether the process succeeded or not.  Assistance would be appreciated with getting this to work.  Thank you.  Below is my guess that obviously hasn't worked:

Copy-Item -path $source -destination $destination -Force | Write-Host "File copied to $destination"

How to move Master Slide Art and Watermark between Power Point presentations

How do I record my voice with PowerPoint (Windows) Export to MP4 Feature?

I have a current version of Windows PowerPoint and see how to select

Use Timing and Narrations

 

But do not get any prompting after that.

When do I start speaking?

And where is the highlighter I was reading about?

All I get when I create the MP$ is "Trial"..."Trial"..."Trial"...

This is a licensed copy, obviously. What gives??

Thanks.

How do I use narration in PowerPoint to make a video (MP4) of my presentation?

I need to record my PowerPoint presentation? I need to include audio in that MP4 too.

I see a checkbox exists, but mine is not active or clickable.

Must I set something different first?


Thanks
