VBA Code to Keep Source Formatting when inserting slides from file

W

Wackerman

Hello

It's clear from previous posts that there is no option to set "Keep Source Formatting" as the default option when inserting slides into a PowerPoint presentation from a second presentation

How can I do this with VBA code? I know there is an InsertFromFile Event, but it does not have the option to set "Keep Source Formatting"

Thanks!

Please, please, please inform us if you find a method to do this. It is
probably akin to the search for the Holy Grail. When PPT 2002 came out MS
did not choose to expose the, "Keep Source Formatting" via an API. I was in
close contact with support about this over two years ago and the response
was, "It may or may not be included in a future version." <GMC>

I am not aware of a method to access this via VBA. It calls for a smart tag
option, which is simply not available.

If this is something that you think MS should offer, then please take a
moment to let them know what and why:

You can do it in PowerPoint 2003. You have can have more than on Master Slide and Master Title. If you have 2003, and do not know how to do this let me know and I will explain. My English is not perfect (I'm French) but I can explain it.
