Power Point Report Default

[Blane63580]

Can anyone tell me how I can change the default Power Point Template to point to a template from my company, not the National Instruments Template.

I think it will depend on how you are opening powerpoint.  Can you give a little more information? For example, how are you opening power point, are you taking about doing this programmatically, or just changing the default in power point itself, and are you using power point 2007, or an older version?

Hey Blane63580,

The default PowerPoint template is located in the DIAdem installation directory, installed by default to the following location:

"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\DIAdem 2010\Resource\PowerPointTemplate.ppt"

I recommend you rename that file but keep it as a backup, and then add your file with template in its place (and renaming it to PowerPointTemplate.ppt).

Hi DRock,

is there another way to change the path. I don't have permission to Program Files.

Hi Radek Codr,

There isn't a way to change the file path, but you can run the following example script that ships with DIAdem to create PPT reports:

<DIAdem>\Examples\Documents\REPORT_Layout_to_PowerPoint.VBS

In that script, you can change the path used for the template.

Hope that helps.

Hi Rohama_K

where or how can I change the path used for the template in this script?

Thanks for your answer!

Hi cHristoph_TUD,

You will need to change the following line:

sgSourceFile   = sPathDocuments & "" & "REPORT_Layout_to_PowerPointTemplate.ppt"

It should be the 55th line in the script. The way it works currently is it builds the path relative to the script location.

Hello,

would anyone provide the file

<DIAdem>\Examples\Documents\REPORT_Layout_to_PowerPoint.VBS

please. Unfortunately the example files are not installed on my computer.

Thanks.
