Hi,

I use the following code to open a presentation and paste some information into a presentation from Excel. The problem that I have is that the users of the excel file have different default settings for their PPT screen ratio on startup. Obviously this throws out my presentation formatting for those users who donty have the screen ratio that I have formatted the presentation for!

So, my question is... how can I adapt the code to force PPT to open in 4:3 ratio.

Code:
'Create a New Presentation
  Set myPresentation = PowerPointApp.Presentations.Add

'Add a slide to the Presentation
  Set mySlide = myPresentation.Slides.Add(1, 12) '11 = ppLayoutTitleOnly, 12 = Blank Slide
