AskWoody LoungerIt’s possible, as a Google search will demonstrate, but chances are that your users won’t be able to do anything with the ShockWave Flash object. They’d need to install a stand-alone SWF-player, and if they do, you might as well place a hyperlink to the SWF file in your spreadsheet – much easier than including a 30 MB file.
So I guess the elegant way out would be to make a screencapture (example: jpeg) of some frame of the flash I want to display, paste in the spreadsheet, and insert a hyperlink to the file.
I wanted the users to be able to watch the movie without leaving the excel spreadsheet. Is that the same with PPT? Example, if you are in slide show mode, can you have an embeded flash item in a slide that you can play without leaving the slideshow?
Thank you,

AskWoody LoungerMay 22, 2009 at 8:03 pm in reply to: Export or create a list of the bookmarks in a document #1161774The following macro creates a list of the names of the bookmarks in the active document; the list is created in a new document that you can print or save.
Code:Sub ListBookmarks() Dim docSource As Document Dim docTarget As Document Dim bmk As Bookmark Set docSource = ActiveDocument Set docTarget = Documents.Add For Each bmk In docSource.Bookmarks With docTarget.Content .InsertAfter bmk.Name .InsertParagraphAfter End With Next bmk End Sub
If you save the macro in your Normal.dot (Normal.dotm for Word 2007), you can call it from any document.
Cool! Works perfect!! Thank you.

AskWoody LoungerMay 22, 2009 at 4:08 pm in reply to: Hyperlink from excel to word, to a line a number in a document #1161737What I found so far, is that I can add “#bookmark ” to the document address in the link field, and use a part of the paragraph I want to link to, and it will work. Caveat: it will go to the first ocurence of the text I used.
Example:
webaddress/file.docx#mycat is bluewill look for the first string containing “mycat is blue”
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerI’m using:
It is like only the first slide of the presentation is displayed/loaded in the new window, and when I want to go to the following slides, I am prompted again with the “open, Save, cancel” dialog.
I thought that this was a feature that could be turned on/off very simple somewhere in powerpoint , or IE. I didn’t think it would require any complicated code other than basic html!
thanks for the help

AskWoody LoungerThe web pages are not inteded to be posted in a web site or a web server.
I plan to use web pages to transport and display different sorts of information in flash drives or CD’s, given that any computer today has a web browser.
Could you type in some examples? I’ am a begginer with html, and learning the hard way..!
Thank you

AskWoody LoungerRecording a macro did the job.
Sub Macro1()
‘
‘ Macro recorded 1/26/2005ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddOLEObject(Left:=24#, _
Top:=300#, Width:=138#, Height:=138#, _
ClassName:=”OpenGL.OpenGLObj.1″, Link:=msoFalse).Select
End Subnow I want to link this object a file in my disk (same folder as my powerpoint). I tried adding
FileName:=”test2.r3d”
but get an error message “Object library invalid orcontains references to object definitionsthat could not be found”
Is this a syntax problem , or a security setting of our office network that doesn’t allow me to save activex objects? (I’ve heard that we have some restrictions)
Thank you

AskWoody LoungerHow do I get a list of all the ClassName ‘s available. (example: web page, pdf, etc)
Your help was great! Thank you

WSgchutrau
AskWoody LoungerThe web site is great!! It took some reading and knocking my head against the desk, but I finally got it to work.
THANK YOU

AskWoody LoungerThis looks like the only alternative to what I want to do. Thank you.
I’ll be using a custom size of 18 * 56 inches (to plot at 200%).
Is .png the best graphic format to do this? What about jpg or gif?
I have 24 slides. Do you think it would be possible to create a macro to …:
1. set number of cols and rows
2. set scaling factor
3. copy slides from presentation “fileA” (open)
4. paste special as jpg to presentation in “fileB” (open)
5. offset to col & rowThe goal would be to automate the process as much as I can…
