Adding Trailer

[Cindy]

Does anyone know how to add a trailer to a PPT file so
that it updates each time the name changes?

Thanks!
Cindy

Cindy,

I'm afraid you will have to be a bit more detailed in what you mean by a
trailer. The only ones I know of are for Hollywood films or missed approach
padding.

A trailer is a basically the "file path + file name +
version #" and is often placed in a header or footer to
help locate a file from a hardcopy. Word has the ability
to automatically update the trailer/file name. But PPT
does not.

I know that to do this, you must use VBA code, but I
don't know what the code is.

OK, a specialized footer.

This is not available without custom VBA as you have said.

You can set the text of a shape to
ActivePresentation.FullName & " v." & _
ActivePresentation.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Revision number")
