Method to export drawing to Powerpoint?

[vojo]

Not a problem on 2003 and 2013...I guess chock one up to MS for not messing that up ;-)

for visio ==> power point

From visio
- select shape
- copy
From ppt
- paste or paste special as needed

page shapes copied....background pages not copied

I am using VBA to loop through all the pages to copy paste to PPT.

The code is earlier in this post.
The pasted image will not ungroup.

that is a whole different issue.

Basically, you want to past a Visio object such that in ppt, you can right click and open the drawing up
to ungroup or whatever.

In office 2003, this worked fine

In later versions of ppt, word...ala office 2010...it does not seem work anymore.

You may want to paste as a visio object in vba  (OLE or whatever) and see if it works
( I gave up on this approach 5 years ago)
(note, even if you can make it work, large visio objects will eat up PPt memory, you will get errors like
"ran out of memory"
