copy shapes from Excel to Powerpoint and preserve hyperlinks and tooltips

  • I have created a macro in Excel that add tooltips to shapes (the shapes are areas on a map):

    Code
    Sub labelshapes()
        Dim cll As Range
        Dim val As String
        For Each cll In ActiveSheet.Range("Y30:Y375")
          val = cll.Offset(0, 2)
        ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveSheet.Shapes("Freeform: Shape " + cll), Address:="", ScreenTip:=val
        Next cll
    End Sub

    I want to be able to transfer the map into powerpoint for a presentation, but when I do the hyperlinks and tooltips are lost.


    Is there a way to do this and retain the tooltips, or alternatively recreate them in powerpoint? (I also noticed that powerpoint gives the shapes new Freeform numbers as well.)


    Many thanks

    Rob

  • Hi,


    Never had to deal with this issue ...


    But you could probably run a loop dedicated to your hyperlinks and your tooltips ...
