Image loader for Powerpoint... is this the right scripting to use?

[jsheridantechnology]

Pretty basic... well maybe it is in visual basic I don't know, can you help?

Can I use as a string in visual basic to automate a powerpoint; to take on multiple (5) images from a folder location - (usb stick).. and how do I program power point to do this.. does the script work on a cd on loading the presentation, or does it reside in powerpoints architecture...?

Do you know a script to do this?

Well, yes it's possible using the VBA of your PPT, and should be easy if the images have the right name (e.g. MyPic1.jpg, MyPic2.jpg...MyPic5.jpg)
so we can use a FOR:

dim i as integer
for i = 1 to 5
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.addpicture(FileName:="C:\myPath\MyPic" & i & ".jpg").Select
next

Something like that should do.
