Hi. Is their any way out to apply rules to some slides in a ppt saying
the following slides cannot be printed, and applying those rules even
while printing the presentation,.... ALL THESE HAS TO BE DONE
PROGRAMITICALLY


I could be wrong, but I don't think you can specify that a slide is not
for printing if you are going to print with the regular interface.
However, there are a number of things you could if you are doing this
programatically. For example, you could set the slides you don't want
printed to be hidden and then use

ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.PrintHiddenSlides = False

Alternatively, when you are printing, you can specify exactly which
slides to print. Here is an example copied directly from the VBA help:

With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions
.RangeType = ppPrintSlideRange
With .Ranges
.ClearAll
.Add 1, 1
.Add 3, 5
.Add 8, 9
End With
End With
ActivePresentation.PrintOut

I'm sure there are lots more things you can do depending on your specific
needs.
