Item Method

See Also

Returns a single member of a collection. Depending on the collection, you use an index number, a name, or a built-in constant to specify which member to return.

Item is the default member for a collection. For example, the following two lines of code are equivalent:

ActivePresentation.Slides.Item(1)
ActivePresentation.Slides(1)

For specific information about the Item method for a given collection, select the name of the collection in the following list.

Remarks

The Item method generally returns an object whose name is the singular form of the collection to which the method is applied. For example, the Item method of the Shapes collection returns a Shape object. The exceptions to this rule are listed in the following table.
