[OT] PowerPoint - Bulk Picture Import

Yahoo Archive
1
Thanks. In the mean time I found a really nice little VB for Applications routine at ( http://www.aeverett.btinternet.co.uk/tips_powerpoint.htm ) that did the trick. The code follows for anyone needing such a tool. Works for .jog files. All you need to do is change the MyPath value. Took about 20 seconds to create all 73 slides and also format them. The site has tons of nice tips for PowerPoint.

Sub GetPictures()
Dim myPhotos, myPath As String

myPath = "<place your files location here>"
myPhotos = Dir(myPath + "*.jpg")
Call PlacePicture(myPath, myPhotos)

Do Until myPhotos = ""
myPhotos = Dir
If myPhotos <> "" Then
ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutBlank).SlideIndex
Call PlacePicture(myPath, myPhotos)
End If
Loop
End Sub

Sub PlacePicture(myPath, myPhotos)
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddPicture(FileName:=myPath + myPhotos, LinkToFile:=msoFalse, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, Left:=72, Top:=78, Width:=640, Height:=480).Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
End Sub

If he insists on using PowerPoint, there is a program called Image
Importer Wizard. I believe there is a free trial period. The website
is http://skp.mvps.org/iiwdnload.htm I have never used it personally,
but have some colleagues who recommend it.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Vantage] [OT] PowerPoint - Bulk Picture Import

Our president just came back from a business trip with 73 pictures he
wants made into a PowerPoint (2000) presentation. Anyone know of a
method to "bulk" import the .jpg files as slides? Otherwise it gets a
really tedious creating each new slide and inserting a picture. All he
really needs is a slideshow where he can click "next" and then talk
about the picture but he wants it to be PowerPoint if possible..

Thanks,
