<div style="direction: ltr;">I've done it the other way around, i.e. created powerpoint files using python, and could probably provide an example, I'll post later tonight if I just remember to do it..<br></div><div style="direction: ltr;">

[Daniel Greenfeld]<br><br>| On to part 2 of my project. I need to be able to get the text of the<br>| first slide out of a lot of Powerpoint files. If anyone can give me<br>| some handy hints, that would be appreciated.
<br><br>Daniel, I started to look at this with an eye to helping<br>you out, but since I don't usually use PowerPoint it was<br>taking more time than I had available. So as not to waste<br>my time in looking or yours in reading... if you're still
<br>having problems, could you give some indication of whether<br>you're stuck at the first hurdle: how do I get anything out<br>of PowerPoint by any means? Or whether you've gone so far<br>but some particular aspect of the Model or API is proving
<br>difficult?<br><br>Thanks<br>TJG<br><br>________________________________________________________________________<br>This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star. The<br>service is powered by MessageLabs. For more information on a proactive
