MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Powerpoint automation question
Is it possible to create a .net application that could open a PowerPoint template file and allow the user to interact with the slides visually? We want to be able to allow the user to change a PowerPoint template. For example add slides, modify fonts on existing slides add textboxes. We want to do this from a C# application because we want to be able to easily identify the elements that the user has either added or changed. Is it even possible to do this with .net? Thanks Yes you can do this. Your going to need to use Visual Studios 2005 or later, the VSTO sdk and run time, as well as .NET 2 sp2.
