I have some more questions regarding powerpoint masters, preferably I would like to solve

  • 0

I have some more questions regarding powerpoint masters, preferably I would like to solve them in VBA, but if you have a “click solution” that would be highly appreciated, too.

1) How can I define custom default tables, and I do not like any of the Powerpoint 2010 suggestions, I would like to define my own default table. I know it is easy to use one of the given ones as default style, but I don’t know how to get my layout into the choosable ones.

2) How can I set the indents and the bullets for the different levels in a textframe? I know how to set them for the whole placeholder, but not how to access level 2 onwards…

Thanks a lot
seba

Edit: on 2) I found out how to set the indents via Levels(), but the bullets seem to work via Paragraphs() which doesn’t help when creating a master

    1) You can’t define custom tables, or at least there’s no UI or object model for it. You could copy a pre-made table in from another slide in a presentation or template and paste it onto an existing slide as needed or start by adding the closest available pre-made table then your code could modify it to suit.

    2) Work with the shape’s .TextFrame.Ruler object to modify the .TabStops and .Levels collections. .Levels(x).FirstMargin and .Levels(x).LeftMargin let you get/set the bullet indents.

    X can take on values of 1 to 9 in PPT 2007 and up, 1 to 5 in earlier versions.
