Re: Manipulate Powerpoint Docs?

Win32::OLE is probably the best way to tackle this problem.

However, there is a C based PPT to HTML converter that is bundled with the Excel to HTML converter xlHtml. From the Readme: The pptHtml program will take a PowerPoint 97/95 file as input and convert it to html.

I haven't tried the PPT converter but the Excel converter is very good.

Thank you! I will build this code soon. Unfortunately there is no win32 binary for the PPT to HTML converter, so I'll have to build it (on Linux) to test it. I could use Win32::OLE, but as mentioned above, I'd have to figure out the object model as rchiav mentioned. I was hoping not to have to undertake that task. Maybe there is enough in xlHtml that I can hack that. --traveler	[reply]
