This text will walk you through all that you need to know to create PowerPoint presentations programmatically. You can create them to be as fancy or as mundane as you wish them to be. We cover charts, tables, text, fonts, video, master slides, reporting, and more; everything that you need to create any presentation.Many companies are making the move to use PowerPoint as a form of visual reporting rather than only for developing presentations. Examples might include preparing a proposal, providing status reports, and high-content, detailed presentations. In these cases, the text on one slide might flow onto another, the fonts are generally smaller, there may be less white space, and the result much more resembles a structured report than it does a presentation. Automating the production of a report like this might greatly improve the quality of the result while reducing the time to produce it. This book provides step-by-step guidance for creating these presentations.
