How do I add an Gallery item to the quick access toolbar in PP?

I would like to add an item from a Gallery(not the gallery itself) to my
quick access toolbar or alternatively know the VBA code to take a picture and
add a particular shadow to an image on PowerPoint slides.
Thanks!
 
Yes that would help. What I want is to apply one shadow effect to all the
pictures in a PowerPoint show by either putting a button on the quick access
bar or using a keystroke. If there is code that will automatically do this by
default, that would be great!
 
This code will copy the format of a selected picture and then apply it to all
pictures. If you don't know how to use vba
see:http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoint_hints_and_tips_tutorials.html#vba

'code starts

Sub picformat()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
On Error GoTo errhandler
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
If .Type <> msoPicture Then GoTo errhandler
..PickUp
End With
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.Type = msoPicture Then oshp.Apply
Next oshp
Next osld
Exit Sub
errhandler:
MsgBox "Did you select a picture?", vbCritical
End Sub

'code ends

Thanks for your help. The macro worked great, but I can't get it to work by
putting it on a template. I have my template that I added the code to and
when I make new PowerPoints from the template I get an error message. How can
I get it to work?

Thanks so much!

Start by relieving our suspense; what did the error message say? ;-)
 
Opps - my bad. The error was 'The macro cannot be found or has been disabled
because of your security settings.'

fyi - I did change the trust settings to 'Trust access to the VBA project
object model' and saved the template with the macro in the default location.

Thanks!
 
Try setting Enable All Macros [dire warning] in the same dialog box as where you set
access to the VBA project. Restart PPT and try again. See if that helps.
 
Thanks! That worked. :)
