PowerPoint BACKGROUNDS
Hey,
I have used a lot of the advice on here to export images and text to make a new slide, but I am having a LOT of trouble exporting the background. Is there any way at all to export the background? Currently I am creating a new slide with the same background format as the current slide and then doing a slide export. The problem with this is that if the background is not a template, the background is not transfered. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cameron -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...point/200807/1

Quickest way is to save the slide with the background as an image file (png), and then insert that saved image as your background into your new slide presentation.

Thanks for the help, all of the tips worked. My question now I guess is, is
there a way to do it programmatically so I dont have to go through each individual slide and do this? I have used visual basic to do some other work with pp and it all seems to work really well, but I am having trouble finding the right code to get at the background.
