Pasting from PowerPoint 2010 into Word 2010

[msnyder701]

Hi--I'm trying to paste the contents of each PowerPoint slide into a Word document so that I can use "Track Changes"--a feature sadly missing in PP. Anyway, so far I have this code:

Sub tryit2()
Dim myWd As Word.Application
Set myWd = New Word.Application


With myWd
.Visible = True
.Documents.Add


For j = 1 To 3
Presentations(1).Slides(j).Shapes.Range.Copy

With .Documents(1)
.Range.Paste
End With
Next j

.Quit
End With


End Sub

This does paste all of the material on slides 1 to 3 into Word, but each set of shapes is pasted onto the single page of the document; I want each slide's shapes to appear on separate pages. I've tried a variety of ways to send a page break command to Word within this macro, but no luck. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Sorry all, I found an answer. Take the following code, paste in as macro into PP and convert to ppa after enabling the Word Office library references in PowerPoint:

Option Explicit


Sub WriteToWord()
Dim aSlide As Slide, MyDoc As New Word.Document, MyRange As Word.Range
Dim aTable As Table, aShape As Shape, TablesCount As Integer, ShapesCount As Integer
Dim i As Word.Paragraph
On Error Resume Next
With MyDoc
.Application.Visible = False
.Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each aSlide In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each aShape In aSlide.Shapes
Set MyRange = .Range(.Content.End - 1, .Content.End - 1)
Select Case aShape.Type
Case msoAutoShape, msoPlaceholder, msoTextBox
If aShape.TextFrame.HasText Then
aShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Copy
MyRange.Paste
With MyRange
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphLeft
For Each i In MyRange.Paragraphs
If i.Range.Font.Size >= 16 Then
i.Range.Font.Size = 14
Else
i.Range.Font.Size = 12
End If
Next
End With
End If
Case msoPicture
aShape.Copy
MyRange.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteMetafilePicture
ShapesCount = .Shapes.Count
With .Shapes(ShapesCount)
.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Width = Word.CentimetersToPoints(14)
.Height = Word.CentimetersToPoints(6)
.Left = wdShapeCenter
.ConvertToInlineShape
End With
.Content.InsertAfter Chr(13)
Case msoEmbeddedOLEObject, msoLinkedOLEObject, msoLinkedPicture, msoOLEControlObject
aShape.Copy
MyRange.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteOLEObject
ShapesCount = .Shapes.Count
With .Shapes(ShapesCount)
.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Width = Word.CentimetersToPoints(14)
.Height = Word.CentimetersToPoints(6)
.Left = wdShapeCenter
.ConvertToInlineShape
End With
.Content.InsertAfter Chr(13)
Case msoTable
aShape.Copy
MyRange.Paste
TablesCount = .Tables.Count
With .Tables(TablesCount)
.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPercent
.PreferredWidth = 100
.Range.Font.Size = 11
End With
.Content.InsertAfter Chr(13)
End Select
Next
If aSlide.SlideIndex < ActivePresentation.Slides.Count Then .Content.InsertAfter Chr(12)
.UndoClear ' Clear used memory
Next
' Change white font to black color
With .Content.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Format = True
.Font.Color = wdColorWhite
.Replacement.Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
MsgBox "PPT Converted to WORD completed, Please check and save document", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "ExcelHome/ShouRou"
.Application.Visible = True
.Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub

Sub Auto_Open() ' Add PPTtoWord to Tool Bar when Powerpoint start
Dim MyControl As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls("PPTtoWord").Delete
Set MyControl = Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls.Add(Before:=1)
With MyControl
.Caption = "PPTtoWord"
.FaceId = 567 ' Word Icon
.Enabled = True
.Visible = True
.Width = 100
.OnAction = "WriteToWord"
.Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
End With
End Sub

Sub Auto_Close() ' Delete PPTtoWord from Tool Bar when Powerpoint close
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls("PPTtoWord").Delete
End Sub
