Hello,
I know the PPT forum here does not get alot of action but I'm hoping someone sees this and can help.
Short version of the question: What is the proper command to run a Word macro from a PPT macro? I've seen that it's "Project.module.macroname" but I don't know what to put for "Project."
Longer version:
I have been given the job to take large PPTs and "convert" them into a Word document using a specific template. So a wrote a macro to do it. The code is at the bottom of this post.
The line I am having trouble with is the line that is commented out near the bottom. What the macro does in a nutshell is create a new Word document based on the "SMI Manual.dot" template, then it pastes all the stuff from PPT into it. At end end, I want to run a macro that is stored in the SMI Manual.dot (the macro I want to run is called "fix_ppt_import"). I found an MS KB article that said to use the syntax:
myWD.Run "Project.module.macro"
I've tried that, and I just don't know what to put in the "Project" slot. I've tried SMI Manual, SMI Manual.dot, TemplateProject (SMI Manual), the document name...all of them fail.
Thanks for any help!
