Hi all. I was just made aware of something rather strange in DOORS regarding MS PowerPoint files that are inserted as OLE Objects. When I choose to insert the object as "Create New", the PowerPoint is saved as a slide. However, when I insert as "Create from File" the PowerPoint is saved as a presentation.
The big difference is that the presentation you cannot do any changes in. If you click on it, it is opened in presentation mode. The 'slide' however, can be opened and modified. Is there some way of changing that behavior so that a PowerPoint created from file will not be saved as a presentation but as editable information? /sekrbo sekrbo - Wed Feb 18 07:57:50 EST 2015 |
Re: MS PowerPoint as OLE object Hi It is not very common to control a powerpoint application by a doors dxl script. I think you are confronted to a long and hard way on cmmi-level one - initial. Wolfgang |

I just wondered if there was anyway that you could edit a ppt that had been inserted as an OLE from file. Otherwise the procedure has to be that you disgard the original and edit a copy that you have to store somewhere else. You cannot even save the OLE locally and edit just "run" a presentation as it is now.

/sekrbo There is a automatisation object like you have in word and excel - Powerpoint.Application - but I've never used it. Allthough I'm shure, that you can do everything you want to du with ppt als long as you found out how. |
