Do you mean the file name eg "a_nice_rose" or the path to the original file?

Hi John,
Just the file name itself. Thanks for verifying. Is there a way to do it?

Does it not show in the custom animation pane if you add a temp animation to
it? It does for me, my problem was changing fie names fron eg "s23456_pt7a" to something more obvious. I just discovered this can be done in the script editor! -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "LaurenM" wrote: Hi John, Just the file name itself.

Thanks, that does work. It's too bad we have to go through an extra step but
at least I can do it. Thanks so much! Lauren "John Wilson" wrote: Does it not show in the custom animation pane if you add a temp animation to it?

Hi John,
Here's another question. Is there a way to extract a list of the pictures used in a whole PowerPoint file? Maybe there is a third party application that will do this? Thanks for your help!

I think you would need to use vba to do this. It (probably) wouldnt give you
the filenames but something like "On slide 3 - picture 3". I havent found any way to read the displayname (which is the file name) in vba but maybe someone else knows how. -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "LaurenM" wrote: Hi John, Here's another question.
