Altering tables in slideshow

Hi,

I have the code below to format and insert text into a table. However... is there any way to alter the appearance of a table when the slideshow is running? What I would like to do eventually is insert a tick when the slideshow is running.

Also - is there a way I could apply this to ALL slides? All slides will be identical.

Many thanks in advance
Jon

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).Table
.Cell(1, 1).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "hello"
.Cell(1, 2).Shape.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(111, 131, 68)
End With

To apply to all slides

Sub fixall()
Dim osld As Slide
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
With osld.Shapes(1).Table
.Cell(1, 1).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "hello"
.Cell(1, 2).Shape.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(111, 131, 68)
End With
Next osld
End Sub

This code (and the original) will already work in show mode so you will need to explain more what you need.

thats exactly what I need, for it to work in show mode... thanks. theres another reason its not working as I want, but thats for another post...

Hi John you have given good information I tried it on my presentation slides. It is working exactly the way I want. The code is working very well. Thanks for the code and informative post.

Hi I am facing two problems.

1. I have a table of content which is linked to slides however , is there a way so that as soon as I change the header of the linked slide, it automatically changes Table of Content with new heading.

2. I have 4 master slides and want a VBA which applies this 1 master slide to specific slides in the deck.

Please help me out. I have an important deadline to meet and this would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Harmeet
