Accessing Powerpoint presentation using Automation

[Marc Ridey]

To all,

1. Where can I get the latest reference documentation on the Powerpoint
Automation COM Object for Powerpoint 2003?

2. If there a better way to do this? When is Powerpoint XML being released.
I can only find references to Word and Excel on MS web site.

3. Do you know of any third party components that allow manipulation of the
powerpoint presentations?

Thanks

The PowerPoint Automation interfaces are documented at the following location:

Office VBA Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
-> Office Solutions Development
-> Microsoft Office
-> Microsoft Office 2003
-> VBA Language Reference
-> <Pick your Office application>

You can use the automation interfaces to modify the presentations.

The Object model is also available for C++ M.S. just didn't do any help for
it. You have to interpret from the VB help.
