This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures.

NOTE: This macro counts Graph 8 objects when you are using slide view.

Sample Visual Basic Procedure
Sub CountGraphs

' Dimension the variables. Dim shapeObject As Shape Dim lSlideNumber As Long Dim lCount As Long Dim strPrompt As String Dim strTitle As String Dim lBoxStyle As Long

' Make sure PowerPoint is using slide view. If ActiveWindow.ViewType <> ppViewSlide Then

MsgBox "You must be in slide view to run this macro." End

End If

' Initialize the counter. lCount = 0

' Get the current slide number. lSlideNumber = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideNumber

' Look at all shapes on the current slide. For Each shapeObject In _ ActivePresentation.Slides(lSlideNumber).Shapes

' Check to see whether shape is an OLE object. If shapeObject.Type = msoEmbeddedOLEObject Then

' Check to see whether OLE object is Graph 8 object. The ProgID ' is case sensitive. If shapeObject.OLEFormat.ProgID = "MSGraph.Chart.8" Then

' Found a graph; add 1 to the total. lCount = lCount + 1 End If

End If

Next shapeObject

' Creates and then displays the message box.

' Set the message box style. lBoxStyle = vbInformation

Select Case lCount

' No graphs were found. Case 0 strPrompt = "No graphs were found on the slide." strTitle = "No graphs"

' One graph was found. Case 1 strPrompt = "One graph was found on the slide." strTitle = "One Graph"

' More than one graph was found. Case Is > 1 strPrompt = lCount & " Graphs were found on the slide." strTitle = lCount & " Graphs"

' An error occurred. Case Else strPrompt = "An error occurred!" strTitle = "Error" lBoxStyle = vbCritical End Select

'Display the message box. MsgBox strPrompt, lBoxStyle, strTitle

End Sub
