slide notes text from powerpoint slides

[vinsab]

Hi,

I need to get text of slide notes, using VBA. I am able
to get shapes, title etc through Slide object but am
unable to find any routine, property or solution to
retreive slide notes for each slide.
Help!!

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).NotesPage.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Text

contains the text from the notes for slide 1. I imagine a loop with For
Each sld in ActivePresentation.Slides would get you what you want.

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).NotesPage.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Text

On a good day. But if the presentation's been edited much or has come forward
from earlier PPT versions that may not work.

It seems more reliable to iterate through all the shapes on the notes page
until you find one that's a body text placeholder; that'd be the one you're
after.
