Show me the built in properties and their values

Problem

You're looking for a way to get at a particular property from among PowerPoint's many built-in document properties.

Solution

First, you need to know the name of the property you're looking for. Run this code in the VB editor to get a list:

Sub ListBuiltInProperties()
    Dim x As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    Debug.Print "BEGIN ===================================="
    With ActivePresentation.BuiltInDocumentProperties
        For x = 1 To .Count
            Debug.Print "Property Number: " & CStr(x)
            Debug.Print "Property Name: " & .Item(x).Name
            Debug.Print "Property Value: " & .Item(x).Value
        Next
    Debug.Print "END ===================================="
    End With
End Sub

Find the property you're looking for (or just check the example results below)

To display the value of a particular property, Template for example:

With ActivePresentation
    MsgBox .BuiltInDocumentProperties("Template").Value
End With

To change the value of a property that's not Read-Only:

With ActivePresentation
    .BuiltInDocumentProperties("Template") = "TopSecret!!!"
End With

Here's what the code gives me on my system:
