Hi All,

I want to open power point application from java.
To be able to do this I need the full path of powerpoint.exe

How can I find this?

Locate the file in Windows Explorer. It's probably in your C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office folder. A handy tool for capturing the full path
of a file to the clipboard is Copy Path at http://www.bergenstreetsoftware.com/.
Install it, right click a file and select Copy Path from the menu and then "Copy
full Path". Now just paste it into your java code. Copy Path saves on typing
and typos.

Cathy,
Use the CreateObject method supported by Java to instantiate PowerPoint and
turn the state to visible.
