Presentation Formatting Approaches
Format a presentation by using style sheets, format objects, or format properties.
When you use an existing PowerPoint presentation as a template for a PPT API presentation, the content from the template presentation appears in the new PPT API presentation.
Access PowerPoint Template Elements
The PPT API uses PowerPoint presentations as templates to generate presentations.
Presentation Format Inheritance
The PPT API allows you to use a PowerPoint template and PPT API format objects and properties to format presentation objects.
Define a Style Using Format Objects
Create an array of formats, such as color, font family, and font size, that specify the appearance of a paragraph or other content object.
Most PPT API presentation objects (such as a Paragraph object)
include properties that you can use to set the format of the content
of an object.
