See the article "Getting To Grips With VBA Basics In 15 Minutes" at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm
and other articles on that website, but I doubt that very much of it is
applicable to Powerpoint. I have cross-posted this response to the
microsoft.public.powerpoint newsgroup where it might be more likely to come
to the attention of someone who can help you.

Hope this helps.
Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my

Quite a bit of it, really. It's mostly about VBA; if you look at that part
rather than the Word-specific stuff (ActiveDocument, No. ActivePresentation,
Si) it's good stuff. Of course. It's Bill Coan's. <g>
