Powerpoint and VB (Could REALLY use some expertise here!)

[flint]

I am trying to manipulate a Powerpoint presentation that I have inserted into my project. I want the presentation to show some information the user enters on a previous form.

Scenario:
On the Project -> Components window there is an Insertable Objects tab and if Powerpoint is installed on your system, you have the option of inserting a Powerpoint presentation.

The Problem:
I can't find a way to change the Text in a specific text field. Ideally, if this was based on an object structure it would be a no-brainer.

MyPresentation.Slide1.txtTitle = "Title Goes Here"
MyPresentation.Slide1.txtField1 = "Information"

Plea for help!:
Can someone please show me a method for doing this or at least point me in the right direction?

Go To Project, References, Add a reference to Powerpoint Object Library, this should giv e you what you need. if you want more documentation do a search on MSDN, you should find some stuff in the Office / Visual Basic Programmers guide.

Good Luck

As Crispin mentioned, if you add a reference, you can get all of the properties and methods. To view these, goto the object browser toolbar button (or the view menu), then type in your search phrases like slides, powerpoint etc and hit the question mark to get more info on this.

The MSDN doesn't really help much on this, same as source code sites like vbcode.com.

http://www.microsoft.com/officedev has how to access, open and run presentations, but I have been fiddling with this and cannot find a proper answer on this myself.

Look at number 7 as this may well be of some help
