Create PowerPoint Presentations Using Program?

Jul 17, 2009

I am in the process of writing a program that takes a .xls file of raw data, runs some calculations on the data, and then creates appropriate tables and charts. It then copies the charts into a PowerPoint presentation, formats each slide correctly with all the necessary information and saves the presentation with a new file name. That part alone works fine and takes about 12 seconds for the whole process (its roughly a 12 slide presentation).

How To Set A Powerpoint Presentation As Powerpoint.application.activepresentation

Jun 22, 2010

how to set a powerpoint presentation as the powerpoint.application.activepresentation? In the program below, when the form is loading, it will open 2 powerpoint files (Test1.ppt and Test2.ppt). After Test2.ppt is opened, it will be the activepresentation because it is opened last.What I am trying to do is when I press button1, it will set Test1.ppt as activepresentation so that when I press button4, it will show me "C:Test1.ppt".The same also goes to button2 making Test2.ppt as activepresentation..But what I get is, no matter how many times i press button1, Test2.ppt is always the activepresentation.[code]

Excel To Powerpoint Macro - Copying Excel Range And Pasting As HTML Or Default In Powerpoint?

May 11, 2011

I'm trying to copy a Range from Excel and Paste the information in powerpoint in either the HTML or the default format, however, I am having some difficulties. I am able to get the code to work for pasting the Range as an OLE Object but nothing else. The problem with doing this is that having the embedded excel documents in the powerpoint makes the file extremely large and unstable. I just need to be able to paste the information without the embedded information where it is editable (so, not as a bitmap or picture).

With ppt2Slide
Sheets(index2).Activate
Range("CP12:CT" & RangeIndex2).Copy

How To Check For PowerPoint In Autorun For CD

Jun 25, 2010

How do I check to see if a user has Powerpoint 2007 or 2010 in the autorun for a CD, and download a reader if he does not? Can this be done in a VB script, or do I need to write a program to do this. My initial attempts tried using Fileinfo, but VB script does not recognise this class. This needs to be run on any user computer.

Powerpoint Presentation In Web Control?

Aug 20, 2010

I'm putting the finishing touches to a fullscreen Winforms Application in VB (.net 3.5, VS2008). This is Q2 for today, as I seem to be coming up with all these little glitches I can't figure out!!I have a webcontrol, which I use to show a PowerPoint presentation - by using webctl.navigate("c:MyPresentation.ppt").This works perfectly, and my presentation shows exactly as desired.However, sometimes, when I close my application, the Powerpnt.exe process is left running.Is there any way of programatically forcing this to close if it has been left open, or am I not disposing of something I should (I can't find anything along these lines when running powerpoint through a web control)?

Powerpoint Slideshow Does Not End When Saved?

Jan 16, 2009

I have a little problem with an application I am developing. My application is supposed to save a powerpoint slideshow, which I have finish coding. The code is as follows,

Dim dal As New CreateDAL
Dim bll As New createBLL
Dim searchQuery As String

[Code]......

However, upon click the button which calls these codes, the powerpoint slideshow that is saved does not end when it is in slideshow mode. For eg, there is 5 slides, after reaching the 5th slide, it returns back to the 1st slide and repeats over and over again. I'll have to press the ESC key to end the slide show. Is there anyway to prevent this? Perhaps I'm missing a statement to make the ending slide the last side?

Create A .net Program And Allow Visitors To A Website To Download This Program?

Nov 15, 2009

I am very very new to VB.NET and would like to ask a simple question. I want to create a vb.net program and allow visitors to a website to download this program. However, I prefer not to have visitors download a zip folder. I would like to have a program that just gives a prompt to save in a selected folder, once the saved file is selected it prompts the person to download, and then when finished prompts the person to run the program. The reason is twofold:

1. I don't like the extra step involved with unzipping the file. and 2. I don't like the visitors having to look for the "main" file program within the new downloaded folder. So is there any way to have just one file for others to download without having it in a zip folder?

Embed PowerPoint Presentation With Password?

Sep 12, 2011

I want to embed a PowerPoint presentation with narration, timings and the presentation PASSWORD in my application so that it will automatically start the Pesentation and enter the password, when a button on the form is clicked. I want to do this so that the PowerPoint presentation can only be viewed from within the application, where the password is embedded in code, and cannot be run by just finding the PowerPoint presentation file and clicking on it to run it.

I do not intend for the user to be given the password. I would imagine that i could use process.start to run the presentation, which can be put on the target computer at the time of instal, but I don't know how to handle the password with code on the button.

Found The Root Of The PowerPoint SpellChecker Bug?

Apr 12, 2012

In PowerPoint (2007 at least, but probably others), it refuses to spell check "some" text in some shapes.

I thought it was the type of shape, so changed them, this didn't fix it. So I did some experiments moving what I called "infected" text into a few boxes and saw that it was somehow attached to the text.

Taking a very simple file with known infected and uninfected sections I converted the .pptx to a .zip and opened .pptslidesslide1.xml In here text which won't spell check is inclosed with:

<a:rPr noProof="1" Text which is spelt ok, or had "ignore" pressed in inclosed with:
<a:rPr dirty="0" smtClean="0" ...
And missspelled text, that was found with:
<a:rPr dirty="0" smtClean="0" err="1" ...

I found and deleted all the noProof="1"s in the file, returned it to the countainer and opened the presentation. and everything spell check as I would expect it should, all errors in all boxes were found, without damaging the file. After saving it, I reopened the silde1.xml and found dirty="0" smtClean="0" or dirty="0" smtClean="0" err="1" in the correct places.

Now the question is, how do I use this new found knowledge to fix a file, without manualy exstracting all the slide#.xml files, opening them in a text editor and using "Replace" to fix them? That process of exstraction could be automated, but if it is possible to do from VBA within PowerPoint it would be easier.

Office Automation :: PowerPoint Won't Close?

Powerpoint starts up properly, the presentation closes, but...Powerpoint stays "up" (does not quit). When my application eventually closes, powerpoint does close, but I would like for it to properly close right after the automation completes.

Code:
Imports Office = Microsoft.Office.Core

Powerpoint 2011 VBA Image Replacement?

Jul 18, 2011

So I have a Powerpoint presentation. It contains numerous images on it, referred to by image X. (So it's the same image but on multiple pages) These same images on different pages/slides have different width/height attributes associated to them. So even though they're the same image, they may not be the same size.

So there exists a scenario where an image exists on a lot of the slides. I want the ability to replace all of them at the same time (quickly) without having to go through each slide and separately replacing X, one at a time with the new image.

Is this possible? (yes/no)How would this be accomplished? (abstract - high level explanation is only required)
