Re: VBA to Applescript in PPT

Hi,
the message is "microsoft powerpoint got an error:"  with the script
editor highlighting VBA section of the code.

I have tried other approaches such as

tell application "Microsoft powerpoint"
go to first slide
select text
set font to palatino
end tell



this gives the error: Can't set =ABclass PpFc=BB to palatino. Access not
allowed.

I also tried:

tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
	set theShape to shape 1 of slide 1 of active presentation
	tell theShape
		set font to "arial"
	end tell
end tell
but got: Can't set font to "arial". Access not allowed.

If I could get one of these to work and cycle through the slides - or
go to specific slides/headers that would be great.

Many thanks,

Peter
