I am still trying to automate our office slideshow. However, we use the notes area to display the latest and greatest on a particular job. Can I create these notes using VBA?
Go to Google, click groups and enter
"How to import Speaker Notes from a file to an existing presentaiton"
in the search frame.
There is some code. You will be able to modify it to meet your need.

Use VBA to add text to the notes page?
Sure. Simplest form:
' Watch out for linewrap - the next bit should all be on one line
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).NotesPage.Shapes("Rectangle 3").TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Here
ya go. Notes text!"
That sets the notes text on Slide 1 of the current active presentation.
By default, the notes text shape will be named Rectangle 3 but if somebody's deleted the
notes text placeholder then re-added it, the shape will have a different name and this code
won't work.
It gets a bit trickier then. <G>
First, let's see if this works for you.
