Seems like a silly little thing, but I do a lot of copying and pasting from Visio and other graphical apps into Word and other Office apps.  So, I’ve started to write some macros to speed this up.  Here’s the one for PowerPoint:


Sub PasteEMF()
    ActivePresentation.Slides(ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex).Shapes.PasteSpecial (ppPasteEnhancedMetafile)
End Sub

Not sure if I’ve noted this before, but to have right-click scripts available in Ubuntu (e.g. right click – resize photo etc.) put them in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts.

Thanks to this site.
