Format Object

[LAM]

Hi Guys,

I have the problem that I always run into an error on the last row of the following code.
What I want to achieve is to left align the text in the textbox (per default it is centered).

Thanks for your help.
Best
Mathias

Dim rng As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Dim PowerPointApp As Object
Dim myPresentation As Object
Dim mySlide As Object
Dim myShape As Object








'Copy Range from Excel
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("F4:F4")
Set rng2 = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("E4:E4")


'Create an Instance of PowerPoint


'Is PowerPoint already opened?
Set PowerPointApp = GetObject(class:="PowerPoint.Application")
Set PowerPointApp = PowerPointApp.Presentations("Test.pptx")


PowerPointApp.Slides.Range(1).Select


'Add a slide to the Presentation
Set mySlide = PowerPointApp.Slides(1).Duplicate()(1)


'Copy Excel Range
rng.Copy



'Paste to PowerPoint and position
mySlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=7 '7 = ppPasteText
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)

'Set position, size and format:
myShape.Left = 26
myShape.Top = 104
myShape.Width = 312
myShape.Height = 40
myShape.Height = 40
myShape.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Size = 8
myShape.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Name = "Arial"
myShape.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignLeft

Excel doesn't understand ppAlignLeft

Try



myShape.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1
