Shape names in Powerpoint 2003

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Aspose Slides supports names for shapes. Can these names be set in Powerpoint 2003 or only using the API?

You can set slide name and shape name from PowerPoint by running a Macro. For example the below code name all slides and shapes. Then Aspose.Slides properties Slide.Name and Shape.Name will show you the name you set.

Here is sample macro code However, I found that only Slide.Name works but Shape.Name does not work, it should also work, we will investigate it.

Sub NameSlidesAndShapes()

    Dim sld As Slide
    Dim shp As Shape

    'Set slide name
    For j = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
        Set sld = ActivePresentation.Slides(j)
        sld.Name = "SlideNumber" & j

        'Set shape name
        For k = 1 To sld.Shapes.Count
            Set shp = sld.Shapes(k)
            shp.Name = "Shape" & j & "-" & k
        Next
    Next
End Sub
