Writing VBA in Powerpoint to automatically create a slideshow

Is there someone that I can email directly who can help me write a VBA script in powerpoint, that will allow me to create a powerpoint presentation based upon the following? :

- The input would be a list of numbers
- script creates slides alternating with these numbers displayed in the centre e.g. blank slide, number, blank slide, number...
- Each slide to have the same specified background/text box layout

I would appreciate some help. I have an example powerpoint of what I want to create, that I can email to someone.

Regards,

Vignesh

Powerpoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
