Hi,
i have ben trying to set-up a contents page which will update
automatiaclly
whenever a slide is added or removed.
the only i have found of doing this is using a macro linked to the
hyperlinks (unfortunately, i can't find the the post where i got this
answer
from).
it works when you have slide number in the following format <xx> as a
hyperlink to the relavent slide and the macro updates the new position of
the
slide when a slide is removed or added. the macro coding is as follows:
Sub contents ()
Dim ohl As Hyperlink
Dim newtxt As TextRange
Dim Ipos1 As Integer
Dim Ipos2 As Integer
Dim InewID As Integer
Dim InewIndex As Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each ohl In osld.Hyperlinks
If TypeName(ohl.Parent.Parent) = "TextRange" Then
InewID = Left$(ohl.SubAddress, 3)
InewIndex =
ActivePresentation.Slides.FindBySlideID(CInt(InewID)).SlideIndex
Ipos1 = InStr(1, ohl.TextToDisplay, "<")
Ipos2 = InStr(1, ohl.TextToDisplay, ">")
If Ipos1 <> 0 And Ipos2 <> 0 Then
ohl.TextToDisplay = Left$(ohl.TextToDisplay, Ipos1 - 1) & _
"<" & CStr(InewIndex) & ">" & Right$ _
(ohl.TextToDisplay, Len(ohl.TextToDisplay) - Ipos2)
End If
End If
Next ohl
Next osld
Exit Sub
errhandler:
MsgBox "**ERROR**" & vbCrLf & "Error is " & Err.Description
End Sub
this works perfectly, however, if i send the presentation to someone else
with the same software, they are able to see the macro, but cannot click
on
the "Run" button in Macro tool bar.
any ideas as to why this is happening and is there any way around it?
Thanks
