Hey Jumpy1,

Rather than insert the same picture on multiple slides
(which will blow up the size of your presentation) take a
look at Echo's tutorial on Multiple Masters at:

HTH,

Trying to help a user select a picture and insert it on
Click to expand...
all slides, starting at a chosen page in the ppt document.
To do this I started piecing together code from the

knowlege base for inserting a picture and for putting a
page number on every slide ... but of course it's not
working...any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks -
 
Thanks for your reply -- That's what I'd like to do ... unfortunately we are working in 97 at the moment. Also, it's a question on branding on each page. In this company with several brands, they share pages between many ppt documents and the different groups do not agree on masters... the only solution they seem to agree with is to put the brand that changes on each group's pages, so when they get copied into other presentations they will keep the brand intact. Yet others want to eliminate the brand confusion and put a single brand on each page. This means a production person could spend quite a bit of time deleting and reinserting brands! Is there anything else that can be done?

Sorry. I don't know of the code (or any add-ins) that do
this.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do here but seems like
you just want to position an image on some/most pages in same place.

Since you are using VBA, I'll try and make a couple of suggestions.

First, try never, ever, ever to use SendKeys. It's not entirely
obvious why but it is very scary to all experienced VBA programmers
and should only be used as a last resort.

The second and more important idea is to use Tags which are only
available in PPT through VBA. In your case if I do understand it,
every time you added a logoshape you could tag it with tag name, I
think it's called, and a tag Value, I think its called.

Then you could run though the whole pressie shape by shape checking
for Tag.Name = "logoShape" or whatever the syntax is and if found
substiture the tag.Value which I would think would be the
logofilename.

that's one way I might approach this.

If you insert the picture once then copy it to the other slides rather than inserting
it multiple times, it should cut WAY down on the file size.
