Export Method

Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Basic

Exports a slide or range of slides using the specified graphics filter, and saves the exported file under the specified file name.

expression.Export(FileName, FilterName, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight)

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the above objects.

FileName    Required String. The name of the file to be exported and saved to disk. You can include a full path; if you don't, Microsoft PowerPoint creates a file in the current folder.

FilterName    Required String. The graphics format in which you want to export slides. The specified graphics format must have an export filter registered in the Windows registry. You can specify either the registered extension or the registered filter name. PowerPoint will first search for a matching extension in the registry. If no extension that matches the specified string is found, PowerPoint will look for a filter name that matches.

ScaleWidth   Optional Long. The width in pixels of an exported slide.

ScaleHeight   Optional Long. The height in pixels of an exported slide.

Remarks

Exporting a presentation doesn't set the Saved property of a presentation to True.

PowerPoint uses the specified graphics filter to save each individual slide. The names of the slides exported and saved to disk are determined by PowerPoint. They're typically saved as Slide1.wmf, Slide2.wmf, and so on. The path of the saved files is specified in the FileName argument.

ShowExport method as it applies to the Presentation object.

Exports each slide in the presentation, using the specified graphics filter, and saves the exported files in the specified folder.

expression.Export(Path, FilterName, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight)

expression    Required. An expression that returns a Presentation object.

Path    Required String. The path of the folder where you want to save the exported slides. You can include a full path; if you don't do this, Microsoft PowerPoint creates a subfolder in the current folder for the exported slides.

FilterName    Required String. The graphics format in which you want to export slides. The specified graphics format must have an export filter registered in the Windows registry. You can specify either the registered extension or the registered filter name. PowerPoint will first search for a matching extension in the registry. If no extension that matches the specified string is found, PowerPoint will look for a filter name that matches.

ScaleHeight   Optional Long. The height in pixels of an exported slide.

Example

ShowAs it applies to the Presentation object.

This example saves the active presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and then exports each slide in the presentation as a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file that will be saved in the Current Work folder. The example also exports each slide with a height of 100 pixels and a width of 100 pixels.

With ActivePresentation
    .SaveAs FileName:="c:\Current Work\Annual Sales", _
        FileFormat:=ppSaveAsPresentation
    .Export Path:="c:\Current Work", FilterName:="png", _
        ScaleWidth:=100, ScaleHeight:=100
End With
				

ShowAs it applies to the Slide object.

This example exports slide three in the active presentation to disk in the JPEG graphic format. The slide is saved as Slide 3 of Annual Sales.jpg.

With Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(3)
    .Export "c:\my documents\Graphic Format\" & _
        "Slide 3 of Annual Sales", "JPG"
End With
