I forgot to mention a very important detail. I'm trying to open a file in the same folder where the macro is saved. When I'm opening a workbook, I use this code and it works fine:
Workbooks.Open (ThisWorkbook.Path & ".\workbook1.xlsx")
The macro in this case is still stored in a macro-enabled workbook file, so I thought of also using the ThisWorkbook.Path command. I tried the code below and it doesn't work.
Presentations.Open (ThisWorkbook.Path & ".\template1.potx"), Untitled:=True
Furthermore, I also need to associate the newly opened template document with a VBA variable so that I can manipulate it the same way I was doing with a presentation created from scratch.
Many thanks.
