I need to load about 60 images, each on a different page, in to PowerPoint.
Does anyone know of an "automated" way to do this. I don't want to go through slide by slide, and have to click "load image" on each one.
If it was a one-time thing, I wouldn't worry about it, but we're summarizing results from some analysis that is ongoing and we'll have to do it many times.
Thanks.
edit: After brief discussion with co-worker, it seems that "insert -> photo album" does this easily.
From PPTools: Insert -> Photo Album works well in PPT 2007. There are a few Problems in older Versions, because the images are linked, not embedded if you do not choose the right settings.
The site mentioned above also features a macro for doing this.
There are a couple of open source programs, both hosted on sourceforge.net, which were developed for just the situation you describe. They are:
Powerpoint Picture Insert Command Line Interface (a console program), also known as P3ICLI.
There's also a GUI wrapper for P3ICLI, called Powerpoint Picture Insert, or P3I for short (I can't link to it due to forum posting restrictions). If you want to use the GUI, you must also install P3ICLI.
=================
FWIW, my wife invokes P3ICLI from JMP (a stats package) to dump multiple graphs into a single PPT presentation...no point and clicking required.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but this issue is driving me insane....
The Issue:
I have come to use my PC after the weekend and for some reason the layout of the VBA Project stuff is completely messed up...
Usually when my VBA is set up very nicely in what I believe is the standard viewing mode IE the Project box to the left and the code to right and the intermediate window at the bottom...
For some reason now I get the following:
As you can see it is just the code...
I then click on the project explorer window and the project details appear, but as one ridiculously large page....
Then I minimise the window and alter its shape to try and get it at least look like it used to...
I can live with this to an extent although everything is floating and annoying... But now, every time I click onto a module (to view the code). It opens each module as its own seperate window!
This as you can imagine is unsustainable when working with as lot of code and having to flick between different modules
What I have Tried:
I have tried looking in different settings and I can not see anything different...
I have restarted my PC and it is still the same...
I have tired opening a different spreadsheet and still the same....
Does anyone have any suggestions? I just want it to be back to the simple layout of everything joined together etc...
It's been a while that I've been reported about a problem on the software I'm on charge. I will try to explain it as much detailed as possible (Sorry if my english seems bad to you by the way ^^').
Context : The software has been developed as a Web Application (Java EE) + the framework Vaadin 6 (not 7). Since this project exists for about 4 or 5 years, the technology used isn't the newest but it's currently ok. This software is used by our internal clients so about a 70 users are using it per day. I'm on charge of this project for 9 months now.
Problem : Often, users copy some info (words, tables and so on) from others sources like a Word Document, or a PowerPoint. Then paste it into a RichTextArea. then they export all those info into an Excel (XLS) file. But sometimes, those pasted info aren't reported, or generate some HTML Tags (not understandable for most users).
What I had suggested : The RichTextArea has some tools, displayed with buttons, one of them is "Remove Formatting", if they press it, everything would be ok. But I had to agree with them, it isn't intuitive and "friendly" to use. Since they are my clients, I want to help them as much as possible.
What I want : I want that if they copy paste into the RichTextArea:
They should be invited to remove the format (with a notification on paste) by pressing the Remove Formatting Button, so I should valorize it.
Or automatically apply the remove formatting on paste.
But I couldn't achieve those solutions because I don't know how to detect the action of pasting, moreover, for the second solution, I couldn't retrieve on the code the remove formatting action.
Can you help me in order to achieve this please? Any tips that doesn't involve an other technology would be appreciated :)

If this is still relevant:
Not sure about the first approach. But the first thing that comes to my mind is to use usual change event. When user will paste the new text, you will be notified that values were changed. Then use any tool to clean HTML and get the simple text (I suggest to use something like jsoup because it is the easiest thing). Or, if you need something specific implement your own parser/cleaner. The last thing is to simply set a new text to the current area value.
Otherwise, you can use Vaadin add-ons which may provide such information. Just look for add-ons repository for CKEditor or TinyMCE Editor
I have an Excel workbook app that includes a low-level definition of a chart. It's not an Excel built-in but one I defined following the [WorkBook->Sheets->WorkSheet->ChartObjects->ChartObject->Chart->[Chartarea, Shapes]] chain. I don't want to talk about how long it took to break that cipher.
All the drawing stuff works and I'm able to draw lines and place text on the chart.
Now I want to capture mouse events and if they're inside the chart limits, act on them. I've tried everything I can think of including right clicking on the chart and doing the "Assign Macro" bit. The sub is never triggered.
There has to be a place to put a blahblah_onMouseDown(), but I can't find it.
The current state of the workbook is here
Any help would be very much appreciated.
I'm going to mark this one answered. I haven't got it solved but I've found a source of information I'm reasonably certain will solve it - but I have to reorganize my app to put it to work. There's a lot I didn't realize I didn't know.

This web site is loaded with Excel/VBA lore and the quality is way beyond any of the Microsoft documentation.
Confluence automatically shows Powerpoint slideshows without any conversion you just use a built in one line macro and it shows up embedded in the page using a Flash solution.
I've tried searching extensively but everywhere tells me I need to convert to some other format or host on Google Docs or Youtube etc.
Can someone suggest to me another Flash based solution where I don't need to convert from PPT first or tell me which one Confluence uses (I have also tried to find this myself)?
It's not feasible to view or create a slideshow of the PowerPoint slides on a web page without converting them to images. You can convert the slides to the required image format. The output format will depend upon your particular scenario i.e. whether you want to show high quality and scalable output or you want to show low quality and low size output. You may then create a slide show from those images even using JavaScript.
Find information about embedding a PowerPoint slide at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Embedding+PowerPoint+Presentations+in+a+Page
The View File macro may be the one you're looking for:

{viewfile:ExampleFileName.ppt}
The results are much better if you export to PDF from PowerPoint then use the Confluence macro for PDF.
This tool turns confluence into powerpoint https://bigpresentation.bigquant.com/ , conflucne + reveal js.
i face the following problem, when opening a delegate window, for example to upload a document to a document library i get the following screen size:

Ofcourse this is not desired, my question is what settings i have to adjust to get a normal dialog box.
Any questions or comments about my question are appreciated.
I've seen this many times in my SharePoint site.
We had problems with others browser, we had to explaint our customer, "since it's a Microsoft tool, you'll have to use IE"
Bu that was just part of the problem, seems to be a CSS problem, you'll have to do a script to make the users to use IE 8.
I'm sorry, i know this doesn't help too much, but we have like a year working with SharePoint, and seems a too expensive tool for all the problems it cause, because we also had to deal with the sinchronization of profiles, but that's another story that cost around a month and a lot of money on consulters).
