Hi all,

i'd like some help to automate a conversion process of Powerpoint files to
PostScript format. We are an association of students and we are proposing a
database of courses. We need to propose PPT and PS files.

I'm not a VB hacker but i already made scripts to convert Word to PS by
printing. I suppose i can do the same with Powerpoint. I need a GPL'ed
solution, we cannot afford an expensive solution.


The solution should be a script.

Thanks, Regards

Marc Tanguy

PS : you can answer by mail and in french if you want to.
 
To get started, Marc, install a PostScript driver then start PowerPoint and
record a macro while you:

Open a presentation
Choose File, Print
Set print options
Print
Close the file

That should give you the basis of what you need to script the whole thing.

Thanks but until here its the same on MSWord. The problem is to launch
this macro. On powerpoint, there's no /m options :-(

Microsoft has an article that explains how to automate PowerPoint
Or, from inside Word with VBA.

Yes indeed. Thanks.

With a few modifications, the same code can generally be used from VB or any
VBA app.
