Default Macro to generate powerpoint slides

I forgot to include the path and so 'InsertSlidesFrom...' routines are
revised as follows...

Sub InsertSlidesFromFile()
' Inserts slides from a list of PPTs stored in a txt file
Dim vList, n&
Const sPath$ = "C:\documents\"

vList = Split(ReadTextFile(sPath & "TestPP.txt"), vbCrLf)
On Error GoTo Cleanup
With Application
For n = LBound(vList) To UBound(vList)
'Add a new slide where we will open the file (hyperlink)
With .Presentations.Add
'Insert the files into the slide
.slides.InsertFromFile sPath & vFile(n), .slides.Count + 1
End With '.Presentations.Add
Next 'n
End With 'Application
Cleanup:
End Sub

Function ReadTextFile$(Filename$)
' Reads large amounts of data from a text file in one single step.
Dim iNum%
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
iNum = FreeFile(): Open Filename For Input As #iNum
ReadTextFile = Space$(LOF(iNum))
ReadTextFile = Input(LOF(iNum), iNum)

ErrHandler:
Close #iNum: If Err Then Err.Raise Err.Number, , Err.Description
End Function 'ReadTextFile()

Sub InsertSlidesFromFolder()
' Inserts slides from a list of PPTs stored in a txt file
Dim vFile, n&
Const sPath$ = "C:\documents\"

vFile = Dir(sPath)
On Error GoTo Cleanup
With Application
Do While Len(vFile)
'Add a new slide from the file
With .Presentations.Add
'Insert the slide into the presentation
.slides.InsertFromFile sPath & vFile, .slides.Count + 1
End With '.Presentations.Add
vFile = Dir()
Loop
End With 'Application
Cleanup:
End Sub
