SlideID Property

Applies To

Slide object, SlideRange collection object.

Description

Returns a unique ID number for the specified slide. Read-only Long.

Remarks

Unlike the SlideIndex property, the SlideID property of a Slide object won't change when you add slides to the presentation or rearrange the slides in the presentation. Therefore, using the FindBySlideID method with the slide's ID number can be a more reliable way to return a specific Slide object from a Slides collection than using the Item method with the slide's index number.

Example

This example demonstrates how to retrieve the unique ID number for a Slide object and then use this number to return that Slide object from the Slides collection.

Set gslides = ActivePresentation.Slides
graphSlideID = gslides.Add(2, _
    ppLayoutChart).SlideID        'Get slide ID
gslides.FindBySlideID(graphSlideID).SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect = _
    ppEffectCoverLeft                  'Use ID to return specific slide
