Hello,


the code below works beautifully but how can I adjust it when I have more columns of data?
I assume I need to adjust the offset line?
Say I had a phone number or address?

thanks in advance!



VBA Code:
Option Explicit
    Dim pp As PowerPoint.Application, ppPres As PowerPoint.Presentation, ppSlide As PowerPoint.Slide, ppShape As PowerPoint.Shape

Sub NewPresentation()
'worksheet range
    Dim ws As Worksheet, Cel As Range
    Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
'create presentation
    Set pp = New PowerPoint.Application
    Set ppPres = pp.Presentations.Add
    pp.Visible = True 'msoTrue
'add slides
    For Each Cel In ws.Range("A2", ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
        Call AddASlide(Cel, Cel.Offset(, 1), Cel.Offset(, 2))
    Next
End Sub

Private Sub AddASlide(Person As Range, Story As Range, PathToPic As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
'create the slide
    ppPres.Slides.Add ppPres.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutBlank
    Set ppSlide = ppPres.Slides(ppPres.Slides.Count)
'add namebox & text
    Set ppShape = ppSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, Left:=100, Top:=50, Width:=200, Height:=50)
    ppShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Person
    ppShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 30
    ppShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Bold = True
'add storybox & text
    Set ppShape = ppSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, Left:=600, Top:=100, Width:=200, Height:=50)
    ppShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Story
'insert picture
    ppSlide.Shapes.AddPicture Filename:=PathToPic, LinkToFile:=msoFalse, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, Left:=100, Top:=150, Width:=200, Height:=300
End Sub
