Defining bullet and numbering in powerpoint?

[szydvs]

Hello again

I need to set up a client's powerpoint presentation templates as part
of a rebranding project.

I have already set up the Word side with toolbars (for styles and some
macros) and a custom toolbar in a Word addin loaded at startup. The
corporate styles are stored in the various templates, but accessible
from the addin toolbar. Users can import standard text into their
current documnt, such as disclaimer text, from the custom menu stored
in the addin.

I am tryin to imitate this in Powerpoint and Excel, and not sure the
best way to proceed.

Is it feasible to do the same thing in Powerpoint? Store the menu and
toolbars and associated macros in the addin - and people can click the
buttons from their current presentation to apply formatting corporate
colours, fonts etc?

I have been reading up on TextStyles - Is this best method for defining
standard corporate bullets and numbering in Powerpoint, generate the
definitions via VBA?

We also have a problem copying bullets/numbered paragraphs from Word to
VBA and the indents etc are reset (whether we use paste special as
picture, or just plain paste - but I'm hoping that if I define bullets
and numbering in the target presentation first this problem will
minimise??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

regards
Suzy

Thanks for the advice Steve, I don't think I'll use TextStyles.

You've got me curious about addins - might be time I raced out and
purchased Powerpoint for Dummies to get a deeper understanding. It's
obviously a different country in powerpoint land.

Just been looking at your site - very helpful for a newbie like myself.

Many thanks
Suzy
