I've been looking for documentation and any reference materials on add-ins
for Power Point.

I have already created the add-in button to the toolbar, which opens a form.

However I cannot find:

- How to set the form's parant or owner to the main Power Point window.
- What the basic power point object structure is
+ I would like to force PPT into full screen mode at 800x600
+ I would like to manipulate the currently open document programatically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can read VB.NET and C# code.

In PowerPoint, choose SlideShow, Set Up Show and choose the options you want.
Then choose Tools, Macro, Record New Macro to start the macro recorder.
Start the slide presentation then press ESC to stop it
Stop the macro recorder.

That'll give you a bit of code that does most of what you need.

You'll need to work out how to set Windows to 800x600. PowerPoint simply uses
whatever the current Windows rez is.

What specifically do you need to do?

There are a fair number of VBA examples at www.pptfaq.com, and links from there
to other sites give more examples.
