Anyone know of a website for learning VBA in PowerPoint?

I can do a few things with powerpoint, but I need to learn more about the basics:

-adding a new textframe and text, and placing it where I want to on the slide -how to use VB to control the master slide -add text to the notes field

stuff like that. my experience with vb and ppt has been some automation stuff from access, but ppt is one of the office apps that i never got into learning vb for.

thanks guys!

sorry...it's just that i am so much of a beginner at this i would rather be directed by those of experience (like yourselves) to the right place, instead of wasting time.i am looking for some very simple things really...inserting a text box into ppt...and trying to figure out how in the world you can find the "name" of an object ("text box 93") ot ("rectangle 4").....i can only seem to do this by recording a mcr, and the viewing it to find the "name" of the object i want to work with...thanks again!

bare in mind that "name" property values for Shapes in office applications are not necessarily unique values. You can quite easily get duplicates. If you are iterating for a value in a loop you'll need to use the ID property to avoid working with dupes.
