I have an application that needs to parse a .ppt file and extract the text
and text location. The ppt specification has an example program that will
extract the text and I have that working but I have been unable to find the
correct procedure for getting the position, width and height of the textbox
on the slide.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eldon
 
John asked for me to post the code. It's too large, but it was taken from
the PowerPoint97-2007BinaryFileFormat(ppt)Specification.pdf file.

I have modified it slightly. The code is found at the end of the file. It
only gives me the text. As I say, I also need to get the location on the
slide of the textbox.

Thanks for any help.
