powerpoint >> help with a macro

I'm hoping to create a macro (I think that's what I need) that will run through the course of my presentation. I need a counter that counts up in 15 second intervals.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

powerpoint >> Help with a macro

by UmFmYQ » Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:36:01 GMT

Hope someone can help.
I would like to run a power point presentation in kiosk mode and then let
the user print out one slide as a proof that he watched the presentation.
The problem is, that it is not printing all the time, but only occassionally
(with one click). With two clicks, it mostly works, but often two slides
where printed. Who can help?
The macro looks like this:

Sub Printlastslide()
'
' Macro created 09/07/2009 by
'
With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions
.RangeType = ppPrintSlideRange
With .Ranges
.ClearAll
.Add Start:=47, End:=47
End With
.NumberOfCopies = 1
.Collate = msoTrue
.OutputType = ppPrintOutputSlides
.PrintHiddenSlides = msoTrue
.PrintColorType = ppPrintColor
.FitToPage = msoFalse
.FrameSlides = msoFalse

End With
ActivePresentation.PrintOut
End Sub

You can probably get away with something simpler:

Sub Printlastslide()
ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.OutputType = ppPrintOutputSlides
ActivePresentation.PrintOut From:=47, To:=47
End Sub

However, printing depends heavily on the default printer being set properly
so if this is going to different machines, you can't always be sure it will
work. I'm not sure why it would work sometimes and not others or work
differently with a double-click.

1. URGENT HELP Needed for Macros in PowerPoint 2000

Hi

I have been given a PowerPoint presentation to sort out for someone who 
wants to use it asap.  The presentation is a bit like "Family Fortunes" , on 
one slide there are 5 bullet points with answers and to the right are 3 
crosses, the answers and crosses are covered over with Black Squares, when 
the presentation is run, the user wants to be able to select one of the Black 
Squares or a Cross and drag it down to the bottom.( supposedly this works on 
her home PC but not on the work Laptop, it also doesnt work on mine).  I 
recorded a Macro for each square that moved it down to the bottom and 
revealed the answer / cross.  I assigned it an action setting, but when I 
view the presentation it didnt work.  Can anyone help?,

3. Please help with Powerpoint Macro


Hello everyone,

I am not a programmer. I am a high school history teacher. I am
developing many powerpoint slides for a novel new curriculum to teach
9-12 graders, US, World and European History.

But I need help writing a powerpoint macro.

All I want is to automate the "entry effect" and the "exit effect." In
other words, I just want to highly an object in powerpoint, click
button, and have it enter; click another button and have it exit. I
have figured out how to do this with a highlighted object to enter
with the following:

Sub Enter()
    With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.AnimationSettings
        .Animate = msoTrue
        .EntryEffect = ppEffectCheckerboardAcross
    End With
End Sub

But do not know how to do this to exit an object. I have read that all
Ihave to do is set the exit property to true, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
DO THAT. I have searched hours. I know it is simple to do, but I am
not a programmer. Please help. I you can give me the exact code for
simply exiting an object that has been selected, I will be grateful.
All my students will appreciated it.

Sincerely,
France

4. Need help with PowerPoint macro that adds a new menu

5. ok, I give up, please help fix this macro code.

Good afternoon,

I have been trying to get this macro code to work in powerpoint show mode;
and would really appreciate some help.

Goal:  send a three slide powerpoint show to an audience that did not attend
a training session.  slide one is intro to training, slide two has the video
taped training session, slide three a link to either mouse over or click.

clicking or mousing over the link on slide three activates VB macro code to
send preformatted email to inform training official that the person
completed viewing the show.

Problem:  VB macro works when viewing the three slides as a presentation,
but not a show.  Mousing over the link activates the macro, which triggers
the outlook security window popup asking permission for outlook to send the
email.  This pops up behind the show and is not visible.  I'd like the code
to send the email and then close the show so the outlook security window is
visible.

Heres the code:

Sub Sendemail()

' Macro created 1/24/2006 by Mr.
    Dim OL As Outlook.Application
    Dim Mail As MailItem

    Set OL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set Mail = OL.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    Mail.Recipients.Add  XXXX@XXXXX.COM 
    Mail.Subject = "Training powerpoint completed"
    Mail.Body = "I completed viewing the required Training powerpoint
presentation.  Please mark me as training complete."
    Mail.Send
    Set Mail = Nothing
    Set OL = Nothing
' Quit PowerPoint.
   Application.Quit
' Close the object variable.
Set appPowerPoint = Nothing


End Sub

7. HELP!! Two Questions to create a Macro

Hi Experts, 
Please see the below two questions.
Question I
I want to create a macro which finds the extra spaces and deletes. Situation 
is, After completing the work in ppt, I have to search for the extra spaces 
and remove, like double/triple space after periods to single space, removing 
space before and after slash, making two hyphens to endash etc. I created a 
macro in Word but couldn't make it in PPT. Instaed of searching and removing 
each property one by one, I need a macro which searches all above properties 
and removes the extra spaces. Can anyone please give me the code for what I 
require? I think it is simple but I'm unable to figure it out.

Question II
I want to create a macro button which by clicking, pastes the text 
automatically in "unformatted text". It helps and also saves a lot of time 
otherwise, everytime I need to select paste special and select unformatted 
text.

Is there a way to create a macro with that function? The copied text should 
get pasted as unformatted text by clicking the button. I just need the macro. 
I can do the button creation. 


Thanks in Advance. Your help is really valuable and appreciated.

Awaiting...
Prasant
