Example

In this example, a Presentation object is passed to the procedure. The procedure adds a slide to the presentation and then saves the presentation in the folder where Microsoft PowerPoint is running.

Sub AddAndSave(pptPres As Presentation)

    pptPres.Slides.Add 1, 1

    pptPres.SaveAs pptPres.Application.Path & "\Added Slide"

End Sub

This example displays the name of the application that created each linked OLE object on slide one in the active presentation.

For Each shpOle In ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes

    If shpOle.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Then

        MsgBox shpOle.OLEFormat.Application.Name

    End If

Next
