guides in ppt file - VBA

Yes you are right, loading the HTML (script editor) takes time. To make it
work other way round, I am deleting all the slides from the source ppt at
first. This will make the source ppt light and then HTMLproject loads fast.
Then I close it without saving. This works for me.

Brilliant workaround. Thanks for that.


Thanks for your valuable inputs,

As an alternative, save to HTML, work with the saved files, open the HTML
back
into PPT.

This may or may not be faster, but a quick manual save then re-open (as
HTML)
of the 80-slide presentation would give some idea of the speed difference.

Thanks for your help. One more question is:
when I try to access "pres.xml" file from HTMLProject (presentation
property) it takes around 80 sec for a ppt file of 100 slides. Do we have
other alternative from performance perspective?

sourcePres.HTMLProject.HTMLProjectItems.Item("pres .xml").Text // this is
taking 80 sec for 100 slide ppt

Thanks,
Savan

Hi,
I want to know where in ppt, the guides are stored. They are accessible
from
View Grid and Guides Display drawing guides on screen. I think they
are
ppt specific and not powerpoint specific. I need where they are stored as
I
need to copy that information from source ppt to destination ppt thru'
VBA.

Thanks,
Savan
