Files linked to PP Presentation

[Igor]

Hi,

Is there a way through VBA, to list all the files(with a
full path) that are linked to the Power Point Presentation

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks
Igor

Yes, but it gets rather complex.

Our free FixLinks addin demo includes a link reporting tool that does pretty
much what you mention here.
You might want to give it a try.

Because I'm a VBA idiot, I take a much more pedestrian route to this
solution, Igor:

I save the presentation to HTML into a new folder. Then I go look at that
folder to see what's there. Images will be exported as JPGs, sound files as
WAVs, etc.

Hello Igor,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for
although, as others have shown there are 3rd party solutions and VBA
workarounds.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide link discovery/management for more than just OLE linked objects
(without have to resort to VBA or 3rd party add-ins), don't forget to send
your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
