Hi everybody,
I want to find a parent slide layout type of a bodytect placeholder that
user has selected
debug.print ActivePresentation.Slides _
(Activewindow.selection.Parent.SlideIndex).CustomLayout.Index

but Activewindow.selection.Parent.SlideIndex doesn't return a correct
slideindex . Any suggestions how can I do this?

Click to expand...

I think you want:

ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex

That should give you the SlideIndex of the current slide (in Normal View)
regardless of whether a shape is selected or not.
