Another MS Word Vba Query

jst0076 · 12-06-2006, 05:17 AM

Is it possible to launch a powerpoint presentation from word using vba code? If so what code would I use to launch it via a command button?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Yes it will be possible, but you'll need to know the correct syntax for PP. Again using Excel as my example (sorry about that), I can create a new instance of Word and open a blank document from Excel. Something else to consider is that you'll probably need to set a reference to PPs object model - this is done in the VB Editor. Have a search round the net - there are bound to be sites that will give you some examples.
