Open and read PowerPoint document with an Active X (CVI 2013)

[Hubert_69]

Hello !

I am trying to open and read a PowerPoint presentation in an Active X control. I don't want to create or modify a presentation. Only open and read. 

But, when I will finish my software, it will be running on computer without Microsoft Power Point. Do you think is it possible ? 

I've put the control of "Microsoft Office Power Point Presentation" on my panel and added the instrument file library MSPTT.fp .

There are a lots of functions in this library !  I used  PowerPoint__PresentationGetApplication(), PowerPoint_PresentationsOpen(), PowerPoint_PresentationsOpen2007() to open a presentation but it doesn't work.. 

Does anybody know some informations about this ? 

Thanks all !

To respond to one of my question : 

It is impossible to use "Microsoft Office Power Point" Active X on a computer without the MS PowerPoint software.
