Dim lNumberOfSlides As Long Dim x As Long

' Determine how many slides are in the presentation. lNumberOfSlides = ActivePresentation.Slides.Count

' Check if more than one slide. If lNumberOfSlides = 1 Then

' Not enough slides to flip. ' Display a message and exit the macro. MsgBox "There is only one slide in " _ & "your presentation.", vbExclamation, _ "One Slide Available" End Else

' More than two slides selected. For x = 1 To lNumberOfSlides - 1

' Reorder the slides. ActivePresentation.Slides(lNumberOfSlides).Cut ActivePresentation.Slides.Paste x        Next x      End If

End Sub
