Create a sample presentation from a theme

Problem

You're creating a new theme for a client or just for yourself. You want to show an example of each type of layout in the theme but ... well ... that's a lot of work.

Solution

This is far from perfect, but it'll give you a starting point. And it's FAST.

The macro will add a new slide for each template in each slide master in your presentation then attempt to fill the slide's placeholders with reasonable content. Sometimes it's not totally reasonable. Still beats doin' it by hand, though.

You'll need to create your own charts, and for layouts that include placeholders you can click to add text, charts, pictures etc, you'll get text. You may want to duplicate these, delete the text, then click to get a different content type. Or not. It's your call.
