Sections
A section is a logical grouping of sequential slides. This is a new feature in PPT 2010. You can add/edit/delete a section in the thumbnail or slide sorter view. The sections can be collapsed, renamed, dragged and dropped. This feature is fully supported in the object model with the new SectionProperties object.
Supported versions: PowerPoint 2010

Debug.Print .FirstSlide(I) Next ' Add a new section at the start Call ActivePresentation.SectionProperties.AddSection(1, "Start") ' You can also add a section before a specific slide (4th in this case). ' It will return the section number if successful ' Note: If the presentation has no sections and you try to add a section at some slide other than the 1st one ' then PowerPoint will add 2 sections.
