Need an advice!

Hi everubody,
In a VBA project I need to add clinets logo to my presentations using VBA
some of them might be over 100 slides . I'm thinking to have a placeholder
for logo on the first page that I can paste the logo and then run a macro to
copy the logo on every other slide. Any thoughts that what kind of
placeholder I should use or how should I approach this? I greatly appreciate
any suggestions ...
--
Best regards,
Edward

I have to add that because some slides dont need logos I can't use
master/footer , unles there is a way to use VBA and remove those logos from
some slides and leave the rest intact...

Best regards,
Edward

Hi Edward,

Some things that are fairly obvious to human eyes are difficult to explain
in VBA.

The bottom line comes down to - how does the code know which slides get the
logo (and if it is in variable locations) and where to put them (both in x,y
co-ordinates and layer).

If this can be answered using basic logic, than the rest of the mechanics
are pretty straight forward.

The simplest thing might be to use multiple masters, some with the logo, some
without.

It'd be fairly simple to write a macro that copies the logo (or any selected
graphic) from one slide to the rest of the slides.

To keep it from copying to ALL slides, you'd need a way of determining which
slides get the logo and which don't.

' This'll copy the selected shape(s) to all other slides:

Sub CopyToAllSlides()

Dim oSh As ShapeRange
Dim oSl As Slide

' be sure to select something first or it will error
Set oSh = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange

' copy the shape
oSh.Copy

For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
' don't copy to the slide the shape came from originally
If oSl.SlideIndex oSh.Parent.SlideIndex Then
oSl.Shapes.Paste
End If
Next

End Sub

Thanks Steve and Bill . I was thinking if it's possibile to have a hidden
textbox ( or a textbox with hidden symbol ) and when I want to copy the logo
I check each slide to see if that hidden symbol exist skip that particuar
slide and go to the next? Also I wonder is it possible to access a logo if
its part of master using VBA? ( because when the logo or any other object is
part of master we can't select it or delete it but I don't know if VBA can
help us to delete them.) The Idea of having two different masters seems to
work too , Thanks again both of you for your time

That would be simple enough. If you have a shape named "Bubba" or whatever
sitting off the slide, you could do:

Dim oBubbaShape as Shape
On Error Resume Next
Set oBubbaShape = oSld.Shapes("Bubba")
If Not oBubbaShape Is Nothng Then
' use the code to paste the logo in as quoted earlier
End If

Also I wonder is it possible to access a logo if

Sure, but how you do it may depend on the version of PPT you use.

( because when the logo or any other object is
part of master we can't select it or delete it

Sure ya can. Manually, View, Master, SlideMaster first. Then select the shape
and go to town on it.

but I don't know if VBA can
help us to delete them.) The Idea of having two different masters seems to
