Powerpoint

[Howard Kaikow]

In a non-MSFT newsgroup, I saw somebody ask how to do the equivalent of
Word's Application.UserName in Powerpoint.

I do not see anything in Powerpoint's object model that allows access to the
User Information in Tools | Options | General.
In Word, one can use Application.Username.

Since that info is the same for all Office apps foe each user, I suggested
accessing the info in a Powerpoint macro by using a Word object.

Is there a better way?

I'm familiar with that article.
The article shows how to retrieve the Windows logon name, not the name used
in Office, which may be different.
