insert file pathname, author as a automatic footer in powerpoint

[dpinsent]

insert file pathname, author as a automatic footer in powerpoint. This
feature is used in Word as insert Autotext

 

[John Wilson]

Unfortunately this is not so easy in PowerPoint

It can be done using vba code though
get the filepath from ActivePresentation.FullName
and the author from ActivePresentation.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Author")
