Splitting a text box by macro

C

Chris Watts

Does anybody know of a macro that will split up a text box into its
individual lines one box per line)?

I often have a text box which contains multiple lines with up to three
levels of indented text. Having created this I discover that I want to have
an image to appear with a specific bullet. Thus I would like to break down
the one text box into several text boxes - one per line usually but possibly
by groups (i.e. at level one). Up to now I have been doing this manually
but it is a bit of a pain to get it all properly aligned. Does anybody know
of a macro that will do this?

TIA
Chris

My mind-set is still on PPT2000 and I am just transitioning to PPT2007.
Certainly in PPT2000 I needed it. What I wanted was a different picture to
appear as each bullet point appeared.

PPT2000 is soooo last century:) Starting in 2002, you could actual do
just what you want. With the new (as of 2002) animation model, which is
quite different and takes a bit of getting used to, you can list text
box animations separately and easily slide a "with previous" picture
animation into the middle so pictures come in with each line. This has
got to be a lot easier than writing a macro to do it.
