Excel to Powerpoint

[CousinExcel]

Hello! I am working on creating a macro that takes excel documents and pastes them into a Powerpoint 2016 document.

I am almost there but I can't get the content to paste into a specific PowerPoint template...if I open powerpoint first then it will adopt the theme/template that is currently live but when I change the default template and close it, it will always create the powerpoint in a plain template. Any pointers or tweaks are welcome:

Sub CreatePowerPoint()


'Add a reference to the Microsoft PowerPoint Library by:
'1. Go to Tools in the VBA menu
'2. Click on Reference
'3. Scroll down to Microsoft PowerPoint X.0 Object Library, check the box, and press Okay

'First we declare the variables we will be using
Dim newPowerPoint As PowerPoint.Application
Dim activeSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim cht As Excel.ChartObject

'Look for existing instance
On Error Resume Next
Set newPowerPoint = GetObject("PowerPoint.Application")
On Error GoTo 0

'Let's create a new PowerPoint
If newPowerPoint Is Nothing Then
Set newPowerPoint = New PowerPoint.Application
End If
'Make a presentation in PowerPoint
If newPowerPoint.Presentations.Count = 0 Then
newPowerPoint.Presentations.Add
End If

'Show the PowerPoint
newPowerPoint.Visible = True

'Loop through each chart in the Excel worksheet and paste them into the PowerPoint
For Each cht In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects

'Add a new slide where we will paste the chart
newPowerPoint.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add newPowerPoint.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutText
newPowerPoint.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide newPowerPoint.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
Set activeSlide = newPowerPoint.ActivePresentation.Slides(newPowerPoint.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)

'Copy the chart and paste it into the PowerPoint as a Metafile Picture
cht.Select
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
activeSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(DataType:=ppPasteMetafilePicture).Select

'Set the title of the slide the same as the title of the chart
activeSlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = cht.Chart.ChartTitle.Text



'Adjust the positioning of the Chart on Powerpoint Slide
newPowerPoint.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Left = 15
newPowerPoint.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Top = 108

activeSlide.Shapes(2).Width = 289
activeSlide.Shapes(2).Height = 250
activeSlide.Shapes(2).Left = 385


Next

End Sub
