Solved: PowerPoint Drawing Guides

[TrippyTom]

You know in Office 2003, pressing Alt-F9 toggles the guidelines. I've had a peek through the very feeble object browser for PowerPoint and I can't find the syntax to create my own Guideline. Does anyone know?

I would like to create a macro that simply erases all current guidelines and sets my own to specific vertical and horizontal values (6 horizontal ones, 5 vertical ones). I have a template that I use, but my users constantly change and move them around.

I would like a quick and easy way to reset them.

AFAIK the guides aren't available in the object model.
Which is a shame...

Ok, thanks Killian. I was afraid of that.

My workaround:
I created the "guides" on a multiple Master page. When I want to use them I just temporarily set the pages to the other master. I haven't tested it yet, but I think this will work.

How much do multiple masters affect file size? Is it something I need to worry about?
