Powerpoint API

Hi,

I'm new to the office API and was wondering if there was any way of writing to a powerpoint slide while it was open and running, using a program that i create.

The idea is to use an electronic whiteboard to annotate powerpoint slides and then use the annotations to be saved to the powerpoint slide.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi paulholden, welcome to VBForums! :wave:

This isn't really an API question, so I have moved it to the Office Development forum.

To do this you need to use the object library of PowerPoint - which you should be able to add as a reference (in VB5/6 this would be under "Project"-> "References").

Hi Si,

Thanks for the welcome :D

And thanks for the info too!! :thumb:
