VBA - SlideIndex

[George]

Hi

When I add a slide using VBA I have
to know the SlideIndex (+1) to define,
where the new slide has to be inserted.

When a user positions the cursor between
two slides I get a runtime error on the line
x = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex

How can I get the position, where a
new slide can be inserted in this case?

Many thanks for help.

Best Regards, George

Basically you need to check for no selection (.Type=ppSectionNone) and then
switch viewtype to something else and then back. The slide before the cursor
will now be selected and your code will work
