Applying the Notes Master to multiple pages

[cdl]

Hello all,

My apologies if the answer to this question exists elsewhere in this
forum; I have looked and been unable to find it. This question applies
specifically to PowerPoint 2003 SP1.

My goal is to be able to reapply the Notes Master to multiple pages at
the same time. As far as I can tell, there is still no way to do this.
As I remember, there used to be some third party solutions to this
problem; I cannot remember if those solutions were VB Script based or
not. Does anyone out there know of any and have an opinion regarding
which work best? Freeware or shareware would be great, but I'm also
willing to pay for something that works well.

Thanks in advance,

-Chris

Hi Chris,

I have the same recollection as you but all I could find was a very old thread
in this newsgroup (May, 1999) with a post from David Foster explaining how to
use {spit!} SendKeys to do the job. As he mentions, it's an ugly hack but
sometimes an ugly hack is better than none. <g>

I've modified the code he posted to make it work across an entire presentation
and posted it here:

Reapply the Notes Master to each Notes Page in a presentation

Seems to work in PPT2000. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
If it doesn't quite work, try changing each line like:

DoEvents

to

DoEvents
DoEvents
DoEvents

Hi Steve,

I modified the code a bit to accomodate our environment, but it seems
to work fine. Thanks much!
