Finding exact physical location of selected text or cursor
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: Marky Mark on 8 May 2008 19:31 Hi all, Just wondering if it is possible to find the physical location of selected text (ie, in units from top and left of slide) within a textbox/autoshape? I have a macro that formats my selected text in a special way, and I want it to put a line (not underline, an actual line) under the text. But I can't seem to get appropriate x,y coordinates for the line to put it in the right place. Thanks
From: Shyam Pillai on 8 May 2008 21:03 Take look at this example: http://skp.mvps.org/ppt00041.htm#2. Once you know the location of the cursor it is possible to arrive at the x/y co-ordinates you require using the BoundHeight/BoundTop/BoundWidth/BoundLeft properties.

Something like this: Double-Underline text http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00775.htm ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
