I have successfully created slides in Powerpoint from Excel. Problem
is.....while the slides in Powerpoint are being created, the user could see
it flashing back and forth. How can I precvent this? And you can't use
application.screenupdating=false. This only seems to pertain to Excel

Thanks

It's always a good idea to share a bit of your methods when asking questions
like this. From your subject, macros in PowerPoint are involved; include some
sample code to show what you're doing and how.

You're correct, there's no .screenupdating feature in PPT but there are api
calls that can accomplish much the same thing. But maybe there's another way
around it ..

You can also keep PowerPoint invisible and automate it. When the operation
is complete you can make PowerPoint visible, this would be the fastest and
most optimum approach.
