Power Point- copying slides with a specific text field

LiMa · January 11, 2021, 8:49am

I have a problem with a specific powerpoint task. I would like to create a workflow with a power point presentation as a template. Then slides with a specific text field (e.g. Group 1) should be copied from the template and should be pasted into another (new) presentation. So far I could build the workflow with the numbers of the slides, but not with a text field on the slides.

Hi @LiMa,
Welcome to the Community!
To be honest this sound for me like you rather should use Mailings function built in for each MS application.

Hello Lima,
In this video, I have multiple use cases of UiPath working with POWERPOINT via VB.NET:

1:10 Install NuGet Package for automation
4:00 Use-Case 1 Add a new slide and add a picture
8:20 Add Chart
10:35 Add a text with shadow
12:30 Perform a slideshow
15:00 Delete slide and Export to PDF
17:30 Working with comments (Add, Read, Delete)
19:50 Create a complex PowerPoint from 0

Code:

'VB.NET code that call POWER POINT

'ADD SLIDE WITH TEXT AND PICTURE

        Dim oApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application
        Dim oPres As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation = Nothing
        Dim oSlide As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Slide = Nothing

        'Start Powerpoint and make its window visible but minimized.
        oApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application()
        oApp.Visible = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue
        oPres = oApp.Presentations.Open("C:\R\power.pptx",,,)
        oApp.WindowState = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpWindowState.ppWindowMaximized

        'Add Slide with text
        oSlide = oPres.Slides.Add(1, Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutTitle)
        With oSlide.Shapes.Item(1).TextFrame.TextRange
            .Text = "My Sample Presentation"
            .Font.Name = "Comic Sans MS"
            .Font.Size = 48
