Try "tell document 1" instead.On Dec 14, 2012, at 3:30 PM, Ian was here wrote: Thanks Stan, that code works if I say tell presentation 1. But, if I use the command tell presentation "Presentation 1" (the name of my presentation is "Presentation 1"), then I get a runtime error:
"Microsoft PowerPoint got an error. The object you are trying to access does not

Hi Ian,
This works in PowerPoint 2011:
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint" tell presentation "My Presentation.ppt" set numSlides to
count slides --> 5 set indexList to slide index of slides http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users
