Is there any way to change the information in the notes master from page to page,
within the same presentation? I want to create a presentation which has several
chapters. I would like to have Chapter 1 with a chapter description for,say, pages 1-7.
Then I want to have chapter 2 with a different chapter description for pages 8-12, etc.
Any way to do this?
I *think* you can have multiple notes masters in PPT 2002 and 2003. Not
positive. Which version are you using? If 2002/2003, I can play with it
to find out for sure.
That'd be slick, but I don't think PPT allows that - can't see how in 2002, at any rate.
You can apply the same footnote to multiple slides at a time but I don't see any way of
doing this easily with notes pages. Headers/Footers are out - they only apply to Notes
masters, not to individual pages.
Here's one way out:
Apply the text you want on the notes pages as a footer on the slides they apply to
(select multiple slides and apply the footer to all of them at one whack if you like)
Then run this to copy the slide footer text to the notes page associated with each slide
and then make the footer on the slide invisible:
Sub MakeTheMagic()
Dim oSl as Slide
Dim oSh as Shape
For each oSl in ActivePresentation.Slides
with oSl
set osh = osl.notespage.shapes.AddTextBox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal,_
10#, 10#, 700#, 24#)
With osh
.textframe.textrange.text = _
osl.headersfooters.footer.text
end with
.headersfooters.footer.visible = msofalse
end with
Next osl
End sub
