I'm trying to put together a macro so that, when I run it, it copy/pastes a slide from a template presentation to after the current slide within the active presentation. I'm 90% of the way there, but can't seem to figure out how to make the paste portion function as desired. All I can find is how to paste it at a specified location (e.g., slide 4), or at the end of the presentation.
This is the MS resource I've referred to so far: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/powerpoint.slides.paste
This is the current version of my code:
Sub PastefromTemplate()
Dim tgt, i%
'open the target presentation
'use path with the file if it is in a different location
Set objPresentation = Presentations.Open("source path")
'copy slide 1 from source presentation
'change the item number in order to target a different slide
objPresentation.Slides.Item(1).Copy
'paste the slide in target, currently set to slide 3
tgt = Array(3)
Presentations.Item(1).Slides.Paste tgt i
objPresentation.Close
End Sub
Thanks for your help!
Here is the solution, was finally able to figure it out:
Sub Slide9()
Dim src As Presentation
Dim trg As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim target As Presentation
'Copies slide (change # in Item(#)) from the source presentation
Set objPresentation = Presentations.Open("source file path")
objPresentation.Slides.Item(9).Copy
'Closes the source presentation
objPresentation.Close
'Go back to active presentation and paste, then go to pasted slide
With ActiveWindow.View
.Paste
.GotoSlide (ActiveWindow.View.Slide.SlideIndex)
End With
End Sub
