Intercepting PPT commands

Hi - I am a newbie to PPT programming, but I know Word VBA very well.
In PPT, can you - as with Word - run a macro in place of a command???

eg in Word

Sub FileSaveAs
'Runs in place of File | Save As
End Sub

There doesn't seem to be a way of seeing the built-in commands like there is
in Word - are they documented anywhere???.

One simple thing I'd like to do is have the Insert Slides dialog open a
particular ppt file (or even have the browse dialog open at a particular
folder), but since you can't access PPT dialogs with VBA, there appears to
be no way to do this.

I'm stumped! Any help much appreciated.

Unfortunately, no.

You can remove the existing command from the toolbar and menu, then add your
own buttons and menu items back in its place, though.

Try searching this newsgroup for posts by Shyam Pillai. I think he may have
posted a way of doing something like this a while back.
