title: Getting the Active Slide of a PPT Presentation via VBA (but from Excel!!)
body: <p>I would like to perform following code, but make it runnable out of Excel!</p>
  
  <pre><code>ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any chance to get the selected slide index without putting a macro into the PowerPoint file?</p>
