 |
|
Hi,
Have been trying to write a simple slide using macro for days and got to no where  Just found a link that allows me to add a title to the slide. http://www.johndavidhead.com/jhead/johnhead.nsf/dx/symphony-thursday-developer-101-presentations-hello-world
However, I am unable to add text to the body of the slide. Any help or hint is appreciated to get me started is appreciated. Thank you !
Best,
Zizi

Slide.layout = 1 gives you a slide with two shapes. The first the title and the second is the body.
To enter text in the body, you need to get that shape, create a cursor and then enter your text.
| Code: |
Set body=Slide.getbyindex(1)'the second shape is the body
Set BodyText=body.getText()
Set Cursor=BodyText.createTextCursor()
Call BodyText.insertString(Cursor,"Outline Item 1" & Chr(10) & "Outline Item 2",False)
|
Hope that gets you started. |
