Hi Everyone,

I'm responding again to this email because it seems that AS insert
slide functionality is still missing from Office 2008. (or maybe I'm
wrong and i just can't dig throught the AS dictionary.)

Someone mentioned that this was *hopefully* going to be rectified in
PowerPoint 2008.

http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2006/Oct/msg00012.html

If anyone could shed some light or some examples on this functionality
in PPT 2008 it would be wonderful.

thanks,

r.S.
