Paste Special in Powerpoint VBA? 2

[johnnygeo]

I'm trying to write a macro in PowerPoint to perform a Paste Special ... Paste as Picture action.

In Excel it works using ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial. But the VB library for Powerpoint doesn't seem to have this method at all.

Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Johnny Geo

johnnygeo,

The PasteSpecial method is available in PowerPoint thru the 2003 version; I'm not sure if it still exists in 2007. Which version are you currently using?

Powerpoint 2007 certainly does have PasteSpecial. Something like the following, for example:

Public Sub Example()
Application.ActiveWindow.View.PasteSpecial ppPasteBitmap
End Sub

Using Office 2000. Oh well. Thanks

I haven't had 2000 on a computer for some time, but I'm pretty sure that PasteSpeciel was there. Have you opened the code page and type "paste special" into Help?

Wow, that is ugly. But it will still probably save me a bunch of time. Thanks!
