   ' First get the number of slides in the presentation.
   ' Then count the number of digits in this number.
   ' For example: 12 has two digits.
   ' The Trim function is to remove any blank spaces
   ' in the converted number.

   ' Loop through the presentation exporting out each slide
   ' as a JPEG image.
   '
   For lSlide = 1 To lSldCount
      lPadZero = Len(Trim(Str(lSlide)))
      lPadZero = lNumChars - lPadZero
   '
   ' The name is created using the path + "Slide" + "0"s to
   ' pad out to the left of the number + the current slide
   ' index position.
   '
      strExportName = strPath & "\" & "Slide" & _
         String(lPadZero, "0") & lSlide & ".jpg"
   '
   ' Export out the picture with the generated file name.
   '
      With Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(lSlide)
         .Export strExportName, "JPG"
      End With
   Next lSlide
