Presentation Formatting Approaches
Format a presentation by using style sheets, format objects, or format properties.
Set Up a PowerPoint Presentation Template
A PowerPoint template specifies the fixed content and default layout and appearance of the slides in a presentation.
Access PowerPoint Template Elements
The PPT API uses PowerPoint presentations as templates to generate presentations.
Presentation Format Inheritance
The PPT API allows you to use a PowerPoint template and PPT API format objects and properties to format presentation objects.
Define a Style Using Format Objects
Create an array of formats, such as color, font family, and font size, that specify the appearance of a paragraph or other content object.
Most PPT API presentation objects (such as a Paragraph object)
include properties that you can use to set the format of the content
of an object.
