Vba - How to name an object within a PowerPoint slide?

In VBA for PowerPoint, you can name an object (such as a shape) within a slide by using the Name property. Here's an example of how you can do this:

Sub NameObjectInSlide() Dim slideIndex As Integer Dim shapeName As String ' Set the index of the slide containing the object slideIndex = 1 ' Update with the slide index where your object is ' Set the name you want to assign to the object shapeName = "MyNamedShape" ' Update with the desired name ' Access the shape on the specified slide and set its name If ActivePresentation.Slides.Count >= slideIndex Then If ActivePresentation.Slides(slideIndex).Shapes.Count > 0 Then ActivePresentation.Slides(slideIndex).Shapes(1).Name = shapeName MsgBox "Object named successfully!" Else MsgBox "No shapes found on the specified slide." End If Else MsgBox "Invalid slide index." End If End Sub

This example assumes that you want to name the first shape on the specified slide. You can adjust the slideIndex and shapeName variables based on your specific requirements.

To run the code:

  1. Open your PowerPoint presentation.
  2. Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA Editor.
  3. Insert a new module (if not already present) by right-clicking on a project in the Project Explorer, selecting Insert, and then choosing Module.
  4. Copy and paste the code into the module.
  5. Close the VBA Editor.

After running the code, the shape on the specified slide will be named according to the provided shapeName. Adjust the code as needed for your specific scenario.
