Hello - I have a need to organize slides which have several textboxes so that they do not touch each other/overlap. Does anyone have a good idea on how to accomplish this? I would prefer running this from Excel and have the code be dynamic.

A friend of mine has suggested a 2D array, which would store the values for each textbox and then go through each one to determine how many were in each "section" of the PowerPoint slide.


Another idea I had was to have the textboxes set up ahead of time and then populate them that way, from Excel.


Thoughts? Thanks for any help!

It would definitely be easier to have the boxes set up and populate the text from excel. You would probably want dummy text
