MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2005PPT notes
Hi, I am writing a piece of code to extract the powerpoint speaker notes and display them in a html file. I am able to extract the speaker notes from the slides by using sh.TextFrame.TextRange.Text . Though I am getting the text, all the formatting bullets are lost. How do I retain the formatting while displaying the speaker notes in the html. -Prithvis > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > getting the text, all the formatting bullets are lost.

Unless somebody comes up with something insanely clever, you'll have to step through the .TextRange.Paragraphs collection to get the indent level of each paragraph and use that information to decide what bullet level to use. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hi Steve, Thanks for your replay. I will try doing this. Is there a way to retain other formattings like Fonts Bold, Italic etc. What I had observe when you save the ppt as web page it retains all the formatting and all these ppt formatting gets converted to a CSS file which the html used. My requirement is just to display the speaker notes with formatting in a html document. Your advice or suggestion would be a great help for me. Thanks Prithvis > Hi Steve, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > My requirement is just to display the speaker notes with formatting in > a html document. While the Save As Web page feature does retain a lot of the formatting, it also results in very complex HTML. If you can make any sense of it, and if it helps get the job done, my hat's off to you. ;-) But you can certainly get at the formatting from within PPT. The .TextRange object has a .Runs collection Each .Run represents an identically formatted set of text, or to put it differently, each time the text formatting changes (bold, ital, font, color, whatever), it creates a new run. You can iterate through the .Runs collection to get the formatting for each run For example, if you have a reference to a shape, oSh With oSh.TextFrame.TextRange For X = 1 to .Runs.Count With .Runs(X) Debug.Print .Font.Name Debug.Print .Bold '' etc End With Next ' Run End With ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, Hat's off to you. The problem resolved. I got all the information that I wanted. This is really great. I was struggling so much, you just solve it with 2 lines. -Prithvis Steve, I am able to get all the formatting that I need and also able to convert those to html. I have one last and major problem. How do I detect and convert the bullets from ppt to html. I have nested bullets. I know you are the only person here who can help me out... :) -Prithvis > Steve, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I know you are the only person here who can help me out... :) Nah, Shyam and Chirag and Bill and Bill and Mike and the other *smart* ones are asleep or busy. You're stuck with me. Let's look at where you expect to go ... You can't duplicate PPT's bullets in straight HTML, which only gives you a choice of what, three bullet styles or so? And any color you like so long as it's the same as the text. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, I see, but I see only you as my life saver now... others too far to reach out :) Can you tell me how do I get simple 2 level bullets (number and unnumbered). Thats it what I want to do with these crazy bullets. -Prithvis > Steve, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Can you tell me how do I get simple 2 level bullets (number and > unnumbered). Thats it what I want to do with these crazy bullets. In HTML? <ul> <li>This is bulleted text</li> <li>So is this</li> <ul> Substitute <ol> for <ul> and you get numbers. Lists can contain lists: <ul> <li>Here's a bulleted point</li> <ol> <li>And here's a level two point, numbered</li> <li>Number two goes here</li> </ol> <li>Now we're back to top level bulleted text</li> </ul> To convert from notes to something like the above, you pretty much have to track the indent level of the paragraphs and each time the indent level changes, either add a new <ul> level or end it with </ul> depending on whether the indent level of the notes text increased or decreased. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > Steve, > > Hat's off to you.
