Question

How can I write a macro in Powerpoint to select any option (Radio Button) that is displayed when you call “Create Handouts in Microsoft Word” (Office Button-> Publish -> Create Handouts in Microsoft)?

The macro to call “Create Handouts in Microsoft Word” is

Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("CreateHandoutsInWord")

But I need to know how to write the macro to select the options (like “Notes Next to slide” , “Blank Lines next to line”, “Notes below slides” etc…) from the window that would be displayed when you call the above macro.

Answer 1

The solution for the above question is:

Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("CreateHandoutsInWord")
SendKeys "{TAB}", True
SendKeys "{TAB}", True
SendKeys "{DOWN}", True      'Repeat as required...
SendKeys "{ENTER}", False here
