[Glen]

Does anyone know how I can use VBA to reset the number of location of
guidelines?
are what the general code might be?

I can find no hint that guides are exposed via the object model.
You can't get there from here, at least not down vba street.

But if you look in Pres.xml in the script editor, you'll see where the guides
are set. You can change/add/delete guides there.

It's possible to automate this but I don't offhand know how.

Glen,

I have not done this so... But if you open up the Visual Basic Script
Editor you will see that much of the slides layout is done with scripting
functions. You'll also see a "Grid" control in the list of available tools.
Again I have not played with it but I see no reason you can't build a
"function" in the scripting to do as you want. If you give this a try
holler back and let us know how it works out.

Steve and Austin,

Thank you both for your advise; I will have to do some testing.

If I have any luck I will post it.

Glen,
Take a look at this example: How to retrieve guide information (PPT
