I have to write a script that parses the images from ppt and dumps into excel. To do this, I first export all the images in the slides to a folder and then call excel Application to import them into the worksheet. The following code, which I found online, with my modifications is as follows:
Sub ExtractImagesFromPres()
Dim oSldSource As Slide
Dim oShpSource As Shape
Dim Ctr As Integer
Dim ObjExcel As Object
Dim wb As Object
Dim ws As Object
Set ObjExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "C:\Users\Aravind_Sampathkumar\Documents\Expor"
Ctr = 0
Set wb = ObjExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Aravind_Sampathkumar\Documents\Book1.xlsx")
Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)
'Open oPres.Path & PathSep & "Book1.CSV" For Output As iFile
For Each oSldSource In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oShpSource In oSldSource.Shapes
If oShpSource.Type = msoPicture Then
' Hidden Export method
Call oShpSource.Export(sPath & "Img" & Format(Ctr, "0000") & ".JPG", ppShapeFormatJPG)
Ctr = Ctr + 1
End If
Next oShpSource
Next oSldSource
Folderpath = "C:\Users\Aravind_Sampathkumar\Documents\Expor"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
NoOfFiles = fso.GetFolder(Folderpath).Files.Count
Set listfiles = fso.GetFolder(Folderpath).Files
counter = 1
For Each fls In listfiles
strCompFilePath = Folderpath & "\" & Trim(fls.Name)
If strCompFilePath <> "" Then
If (InStr(1, strCompFilePath, "jpg", vbTextCompare) > 1 _
Or InStr(1, strCompFilePath, "jpeg", vbTextCompare) > 1 _
Or InStr(1, strCompFilePath, "png", vbTextCompare) > 1) Then
counter = counter + 1
' ws.Range("C" & counter).Value = fls.Name
ws.Range("D" & counter).ColumnWidth = 25
ws.Range("D" & counter).RowHeight = 100
ws.Range("D" & counter).Activate
'Call insert(strCompFilePath, counter)
ws.Shapes.AddPicture strCompFilePath, True, True, 100,100,70,70
End If
End If
Next
'ws.Shapes.AddPicture ("C:\Users\Aravind_Sampathkumar\Documents")
'With .ShapeRange
' .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
' .Width = 100
'.Height = 100
'End With
' .Left = ws.Cells(i, 20).Left
'.Top = ws.Cells(i, 20).Top
'.Placement = 1
'.PrintObject = True
'End With
End Sub
When I run it, the images get dumped into excel but all the images are overlapped on each other in the same cell. Is there any way I can modify it such that images go into consecutive rows? 1 image per row?
oShpSource.Copyandws.Pastebe easier than exporting to a folder? Set the.Topof the pasted image from a variable, then add.Heightand seperation to that same variable, and you can do it all in the first nested loop.
