Automatic insertion of pictures

[Richard ELOFER]

How can I say to PowerPoint 2004 for Mac OS to go automatically to such
folder to take a picture and to insert it in the presentation and come back
to that folder and so onŠ

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

This could be possible with VBA. The following line of code adds a picture
to the slide number stored in the variable slideNumber with the file name
stored in the variable "pixFile":

ActivePresentation.Slides(slideNumber).Shapes.AddPicture _
FileName:=pixFile, LinkToFile:=msoFalse, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, _
Left:=220, Top:=220

The variable pixFile could contain a file name (to just use the current
folder) or a complete path name.

The add-in offers very fast importing of pictures from files, folders,
directories, mounted volumes, digital cameras, scanners, RAM cards, and
other image sources. All pictures are automatically scaled to full screen
size.

Hi everyone,

My InsertPicture add-in is about to get a major update in the bulk
import department. The new version should be available sometime this
weekend.

New features:
*No longer necessary to enter a file path name
*Add a border to each picture
*Display file name on each slide
*Option to be able to link to file
*Lower price

I sure hope it works in Tiger. I plan to buy my copy at the Apple store
after I go shopping at Ikea store tomorrow night.

I'll post an annoucement once I get the web site and order site finished
and after I try it out in Tiger.
