Create new presentations from existing presentation

[Gian-Reto Theus]

Hello

I have a large ppt presentation (approx. 150 slides) which should be
distributed by cd-rom to interested people. They should have the
possibility to extract slides of this large one for own presentations.
But should be done very easily: the usual way with marking them while
holding the ctrl key is not very comfortable to them. I'm looking for a
possibility, where my slides are presented on the screen and users can
click on each slide to mark it (or not), and then the marked slides can
be saved as a new presentation.

I feel that this has to be done by visual basic or by an separate tool.
Any ideas or hints?

Greetings from Switzerland - Gian-Reto Theus.

Sure, PowerPoint VBA can do that.

Place a check box on the corner of each slide.
When the user clicks on the checkbox, toggle the value and continue on
On the last slide of the show place a button to a routine
That routine should :
Ask for the new file name
Ask for the new file location
Loop through the slides and, if checked,
add the slide to the new show
Close the new show
End
