Example

This example extracts text from all shapes on the first slide that contain text frames, and then it stores the names of these shapes and the text they contain in an array.

Dim shpTextArray() As Variant
Dim numShapes, numAutoShapes, i As Long

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    numShapes = .Count
    If numShapes > 1 Then
    numTextShapes = 0
        ReDim shpTextArray(1 To 2, 1 To numShapes)
        For i = 1 To numShapes
            If .Item(i).HasTextFrame Then
                numTextShapes = numTextShapes + 1
                shpTextArray(numTextShapes, 1) = .Item(i).Name
                shpTextArray(numTextShapes, 2) = .Item(i) _
                    .TextFrame.TextRange.Text
            End If
        Next
        ReDim Preserve shpTextArray(1 To 2, 1 To numTextShapes)
    End If
End With
