File name in footer automatically

[Guest]

Windows 2000 professional, Office XP
PowerPoint version 2002 (10.4205.4219) SP-2

How do I automatically put the filename in the footer?

I have opened the handout master but apart from the date there only
seems to be a box to type comments in.

I could type the filename there but can't it be done automatically on
every presentation I do; as it is in Word?

I've always wanted to do this also as my old company had this
automatically appearing when going to File, Print. Anyway, I have
copied and pasted the VB code into a PPT file to use, and the macro
works ONLY if my presentation has only one slide. Any more than that,
and the following Debug message appears:

Run-time error ‘-2147188160 (80048240)’
Slide (unknown member) : Invalid request. Command cannot be applied to
a slide range with multiple slides

and when I press the Debug button, it opens the VB editor at the line:

' Updates the individual slides that do not follow the master.
With ActivePresentation.Slides.Range.HeadersFooters

I am a bit baffled by this. All the PPT files I tried this on have
correctly inserted slides, all following the master correctly etc.

Any help eagerly welcomed!!

Thanks

Does someone have a solution to this ("Command cannot be applied to a slide range with multiple slides") as I have the same problem.

As one of the previous messages in this discussion stated

"Anyway, I have copied and pasted the VB code [as indicated in http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;Q22279
] into a PPT file to use, and the macro works ONLY if my presentation has only one slide. Any more than that, and the following Debug message appears

Run-time error ‘-2147188160 (80048240)â€
Slide (unknown member) : Invalid request. Command cannot be applied to a slide range with multiple slide

and when I press the Debug button, it opens the VB editor at the line

This is the problem that I was refering to. Can someone advise on how this error can be overcome for presentations with multiple slides

A similar problem is encountered with the alternative code as provided in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;159365&Product=pp

You haven't given us much to work with here

Are you trying to write a macro to apply footers to multiple slides? If so, please
post the code in question

Otherwise, describe what you're doing when you see this error message (I assume
it's an error message?
