Shape names in PowerPoint

[garybug]

I have imported a chart from Excel into Powerpoint for tweaking the axes etc., but I can't see a way of finding out what names and properties Powerpoint has for each shape, e.g. Line 6, TextBox1 etc, etc.. Is there a pop up toolbar or an equivalent that I can view these in?

Thanks

Hi,

Here's what I do. Start with a procedure like this and step thru it using a watch window. I pasted an Excel chart on one slide.

Watch the shape object (sh)...

Sub vvv()
    For Each sl In ActivePresentation.Slides
        For Each sh In sl.Shapes
        
        Next
    Next
End Sub

notice that then sh.Type is msoEmbeddedOLEObject.

Lots more you can discover this way.
