Very first c# project - was looking for a quick and easy way to clean up a powerpoint presentation before forwarding a copy. All existing comments are backed up to a text file and a clean version of the presenation is created when running this program.

PowerPoint Utilities

As this is my very first project in C#, it is not really well planned out from the beginning, but will probably evolve as a collection of different functionality that I have used a lot in Powerpoint. At some point ... maybe sometime in the future, this will become a nicely integrated tool

For now, two things can be accomplised:

  • Automatic inserting and scaling pictures.
  • Securing powerpoint comments

Automatic inserting pictures

For now this is the startup form - can be changed easily... but this is what I am working on.

Select files, arrange these in the listbox and click "Insert Pictures".

Each picture will automatically be scaled to best full screen fit, considering image proportions, DPI and what have you (this took quite some time to figure out) Also animation will be added to each of these:

By defaukt first picture will appear automatically after a short delay whilst the remaining images will fade in after a slightly longer delay.

Both automatic transition, animation type and timing for delays and animation durations can be configured in the Option panel.

Secure Powerpoint comments

This is my first function in the project, so there is bound to be a lot of things that could be done better... but it gets the jobs done.

I needed a way to clean up comments from powerpoint presentations before sending them to somebody. On the other hand I did not want to lose the comments, which made the default option of stripping comments a no go.

Running this program will create a copy of the selected presentation without comments. It will also backup existing comments to a standard text file for your convenience.
