Is it possible to create a .net application that could open a
PowerPoint template file and allow the user to interact with the
slides visually? We want to be able to allow the user to change a
PowerPoint template. For example add slides, modify fonts on existing
slides add textboxes. We want to do this from a C# application
because we want to be able to easily identify the elements that the
user has either added or changed. Is it even possible to do this
with .net?

Thanks
 
Yes you can do this. Your going to need to use Visual Studios 2005 or
later, the VSTO sdk and run time, as well as .NET 2 sp2.

Austin,

Thanks for your reply. I went to the Visual Studio Tools for Office website
and focused on PowerPoint 2007. I am still unclear on one thing. Would is
be possible to embed a PowerPoint design surface into a windows form
application?
