Convert PowerPoint TextBox Slides as Notes using VBA

How to Add Notes to Powerpoint Slides using VBA


It has been quite some time since I posted in this blog. Murugan had kindled that in the form of the following snippet. We are had earlier tried Creating PowerPoint Presentation through VBA and Save PowerPoint Presentation as PDF using VBA

This snippet converts the TextBoxes / Shapes with Text that are available in PowerPoint Slide to Notes Section.

Sub Export_TextBoxes_AsNotes()
    
    Dim oPPT As Presentation
    Dim oSlide As Slide
    Dim oSlideShape As Shape
    Dim oNotesShape As Shape
    
    Set oPPT = ActivePresentation
    Set oSlide = oPPT.Slides(3)
    
    For Each oSlideShape In oSlide.Shapes
        
        If oSlideShape.HasTextFrame Then
        
            Set oNotesShape = oSlide.NotesPage.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 54, 442, 432, 324) '
            oNotesShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = oSlideShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
        
        End If
    
    Next
    
    If Not oSlide Is Nothing Then Set oSlide = Nothing
    If Not oPPT Is Nothing Then Set oPPT = Nothing
    

End Sub
