Import data from PPT to LabVIEW

[vickys]

Is there a way in which I can get information regarding the shapes present in a particular slide of a powerpoint in LabVIEW. I was able to get the count information for all the shapes in a slide but nothing more than that. For example I would need the dimmensions of the shape and its relative positions!

Use the Shape Object properties Top, Left, Height, and Width.

Top gives you the distance of the top edge of the object from the top edge of the slide in points.

Left gives you the distance of the left edge of the object from the left edge of the slide in points.

Height gives you the height of the object in points.

Width gives you the width of the object in points.

72 points per inch.

Kbbersch,

Thanks a lot, I was able to do this. Now I face another problem I was able to move to a slide and do a select all after which I am stuck on how to export the selection as a image. Please let me know if there is a way to do this
