Altering tables in slideshow

[jondallimore]

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.

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
