Hi everybody,
I have created several slide masters that I'm going to use in my projects.
Each prject will have a slide based on a title master followed by svereal
slides based on slide masters then again a title slide followed by several
slide and so on. When I apply a built in design it works fast and fine but
when I apply my created design templaes which are saved in C;\program
files\macrosoft office/office directory sometimes they work and sometimes
they don't ! any thoughts what is causing this?
 
We cannot see what's happening there, so could you be more specific about
"sometimes they work and sometimes they don't"?

Which version of PPT are you using?
 
Hi,
Slide masters i have created have title master also and they all show up in
the slide design templates so when I apply a title layout to lets say the
ninth slide and clcik on one of my custom slide designs ( Apply to selected
slide) it must apply the design, but unfortunatly sometimes it dosn't apply
the design ( nothing changes) .
If I apply only one design to the entire presentation and want to apply one
my custom designs ( I have to apply one of the built in desgns first and then
one of my custom designs in order to make it work otherwise if i clcik on any
of designs directly they don't work ). If I choose to have more than one
slide design in my PPT alsmot the same things happenes. What I noticed is
when I apply any of build in design templates first and apply my custom ones
they always work fine so I don't know what Im missing here.
I deally I want to apply those designs through VBA but I had the same
problem using VBA. Any suggestions?

Try applying the slide design to the slide and then apply the slide layout.
You may need to apply the slide layout twice.

Thanks, I use PP2003.
here is the VBA code to apply a specific template

ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.ApplyTemplate _
("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\Cover-4.pot")

I use this code to apply secodn or third or ... templates to the same
presentation, so I select as slide and run the code but nomatter what tempale
I choose as the file name in this case cover-4.pot it applies the same
template that I have in my first slide.

Oh, wait. You're doing this via code?? That's a completely different animal.

Yes Im using code but it doesn't work even if I do it manually . Basically no
matter I use code or do it manually it shows the same behavior. Also I can't
find how to insert default design via VBA ? I think builtin templaes use
different methods to apply ( I think they first apply default design and then
they change it and thats what we are missing here). If we really can't apply
a combination of templaes to our presentation via VBA thats's really a majo
flaw in ppt VBA in my opinion and everything I have done so far for this PPT
project will be useless .
For me that have some expierence with Excel and Word VBA PPT VBA seems
really inconsistent and nowhere near the quality of VBA in Excel and Word.
Thanks

One more thing to add. When we apply a built in template it goes to "Used in
This Presentation" section and a tooltip shows which slide numbers use that
template, but when you apply a custom template ( it only works when you
already applied one of the built in templaes) it doesn't show the correct
name of that template in "Used in This Presentation" even after it applies to
the slides !!
