"Send to" via macro

[Bob]

I use Send To to convert a presentation to a Word document (which I then use
a Word macro to further modify), but I would like to write a PowerPoint
macro to automate the Send To function. I tried recoring a macro, but
nothing pertinent was recorded. I've gone through the VBA Object Browser,
but can't find anything that looks right. The Presentation object has Save,
SaveAs, and SaveCopyAs, but the PpSaveAsFileType enum doesn't seem to have
an option for Word.

From other posts, it seems as if Send To is an add-in. Is this the issue?
Is there any way to call this in a PPT macro?

Is there a newsgroup for VBA in PPT, or somewhere else I should ask?

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for the reply, but SaveAsRTF doesn't do the same thing as Send To
Word - it saves only the headers. I need the slides and speaker notes, as
well..

I looked at Bill's "Slide Into Word" program some weeks ago before writing
my own Word macro to format the output of Send To Word to the standards we
have. It looks like a nice add-in, but is both more and less than I need.
It does, sort of, automate the "Sent To" process, but it doesn't give me the
output that meets our style guides. I would still have to run my macro to
reformat Bill's output.

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Bob, Could you send me a markup of what you need the output to look
like?

I could, possibly, just tweak the code a touch to save you some time.
