Hi,

I am a PowerPoint 2000 user and recently I have received a ppt which has the
"Outline pane" appears on the right hand side while the "Slide pane" appears
on the left hand side. Any idea how to achieve this effect? Thanks.

It was done using a setting geared towards other languages. In some
languages, they read from right to left, so the Outline Pane is on the other
side, to match.

This little macro will allow you to flip it back and forth left to right,
right to left.


Sub Yo()
With ActivePresentation
..LayoutDirection = (Not (.LayoutDirection - 2)) + 2
End With
End Sub


Bill

Hello Bill,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

However, I am a bit new to Powerpoint macros. Would you mind telling me how
to run your little macro, please?
