Does anyone know what the future holds for VBA/VSTO programming in PowerPoint? I've been working on a Office automation project and find it frustrating to work with PowerPoint in particular since it seems to be one level below VBA support found in Excel or Word. It feels like MS is trying to phase out support for VBA in PowerPointsinc...
This code creates a string of 10 slides, in which each next slide's 2 shapes (number 1 and number 3) are nudged a bit in relation to similar shapes in the previous slide, while one shape (number 2) remains in the same position throughout. Each nudge is equal to 2 points (pixels?), but I wonder how could I modify this code so that each n...
Hello, I am writing some java code so that in the code, when an event happens, it opens Microsoft powerpoint from the program and then emulates some key presses which are defined in the code. My problem is that when I ask it to emulate a key press and pass in the decimal value of the key I want it to emulate, It does it wrong. The code ...
I am trying to programmatically make a PowerPoint presentation from the contents of a Lotus Notes document. This is relatively straight-forward using CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application") but I fail to find a way to access the various constants that are used in VBA. One solution is of course to hard-code the (ten or so) values into my...

I am creating a timer in PowerPoint VBA and I would like it to restart when the user presses back on the remote control. For this, I used this sub: Private Sub PPTEvent_SlideShowBegin(ByVal Wn As SlideShowWindow) Call Tmr End Sub But nothing happens when I press back (or left arrow key).

I have a PDF file that I want to convert to PowerPoint using .NET. What is the best tool for the job? The most important part of the conversion is that it looks as similar to the source as possible. Well, that and it can be done programmaticly. ...
Recently I was working with a code to open a PowerPoint presentation (by vb.net) object and process each slide by slide. If processing slide is not null or a master slide I need to skip and go to the next one. Can anyone show me how to check whether a given slide is a master slide? Is there any way to check it by slide type? Public S...
Recently, I ran across Ignite and thought that style of presentation (five minutes, 20 slides, rotated automatically after 15 seconds) could work for "brown bag" sessions. It would be a way to take a lunch hour and get through a range of topics for the purpose of knowledge sharing. Because each talk is only five minutes, it could get p...
I'd like to create a PowerPoint (not Javascript/HTML/PDF/Keynote/.mov) using code (any language, C preferred) for free. (I've seen this SO question which references how to create them in C#) Is this even possible? How can I write the raw bits that make up a PowerPoint file? Any good libraries for doing this? UPDATE The Microsoft Refer...
Greetings, I'd like to convert a PointPoint file to PDF using C/Objective-C (bonus points if you suggest a solution that could run on an iPhone directly). There are a number of Java libraries to work with MSFT files (odftoolkit, apache poi), but I'd really like to perform this operation on an iPhone device. Apple has built in libraries...

I'm just wondering if anybody knows an open source project devoted to convert ppt (or pptx) file to an easy-to-render format - html, jpg or other picture type, pdf... I've developed some code to start reading an office file (I'm talking about the Compound Binary File) and now I've started to crack on the internal ppt streams like Pictur...

Hi StackOverflow, We have C# code in a PowerPoint Addin for custom printing. In Office 2003, SendKeys.Send("^+{F12}"); works fine to bring up the Print Dialog after doing some stuff.
