Print command incremented in a Microsoft 365 PowerPoint slide

Question

Hi everyone,

Glad to write here for the first time. Sorry for my english skills, I'm just french :-)

I use Microsoft 365 PowerPoint and I would like to implement a print button directly in my slideshow (.ppsx). The result would be to be able to print any slide with one clic, and not having to quit the slideshow.

Is it technically possible ? How can I do that ?

Thank you for your help !

Tom

Hi @Thomas PREHEL

In my opinion, you need the help of VBA code.

Such as the following code. Please note the code may not fully meet your request. So, I add the 'Office Development' tag on your thread, hope some experts could provide the support.

Sub printCurr()
ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.RangeType = ppPrintCurrent
ActivePresentation.PrintOut
End Sub

You may press Alt + F11 to open VBA editor > If there is no Module, please insert one > Copy the code to one Module.

Then the macro 'printCurr' is created in this presentation. You may press Alt + F8 to have a check.

To use this macro more conveniently, I suggest you go to File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar > Select the Macros > Add the 'printCurr' macro on Quick Access Toolbar.
