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 exist."


I am using AppleScript Editor and a default presentation on PowerPoint (for experimentation).

Hi Ian,

I think you may need the ".ppt" file extension. Use this command to determine the correct name:

name of active presentation
--> "My Presentation.ppt"
