Help Finding Image of any possible "type" on slide

[brody]

I have searched ad nauseam to find this answer but have had no success. In a nutshell, I'm trying to loop through all shapes on a slide and find and images that exist.

The problem I am having is how to recognize an image when it shows up as anything other than the shape.type = msoPicture (13)... For example, some of my slides have images that show up as shape.type = msoPlaceholder (14) and I need to be able to distinguish between an image that shows up as type=14 and a textbox or other shape that is also 14.

I hope that was clear. I tried to simplify it as much as I could. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!

You should mention which VERSION you have. In later versions you can interrogate ContainedType for placholders

This should get you going with how to use containedtype

[VBA]Sub Find_Pics()
Dim opic As Shape
Dim strMessage As String
For Each opic In ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes
If opic.Type = msoPicture Then strMessage = strMessage & "Shapes:" & opic.ZOrderPosition & " "
If opic.Type = msoPlaceholder Then
If opic.PlaceholderFormat.ContainedType = msoPicture Then strMessage = strMessage & "Shapes:" & opic.ZOrderPosition & " "
End If
Next opic
MsgBox "On this slide these shapes are pictures > " & strMessage
End Sub[/VBA]
