There should be any data in cell A1 in sheets(1) of workbook C:\Users\DJ-PC\PartDescriptions.xlsm
You should comment out or remove 'option explicit'.
I forgot a dot:
Sub M_snb()
With getobject("C:\Users\DJ-PC\PartDescriptions.xlsm")
sn = .Sheets(1).Cells(1).CurrentRegion
.close 0
End With
With CreateObject("Powerpoint.application")
With .presentations.Add
For j = 1 To UBound(sn)
With .Slides.Add(1, 12)
With .Shapes.AddTextbox(1, 120, 120, 270, 100).TextFrame.TextRange
.Text = sn(j, 1) & vbLf & sn(j, 2)
.Font.Size = 38
End With
End With
Next
End With
End With
End Sub
