Powerpoint 2007 + Visual Studio 2008.

The goal is to build an add-in for powerpoint that should do the
followings:

given a powerpoint template that contains some slide and some elements
into itself, this add-in should show a ribbon section in which there
are available all elements in that template. Users can select one of
these elements obtaining this way the correct element dimension, font,
color .... that is in template.

I'm reading hard the docs but it isn't so clear for me.

Till now I did:

1) Created a vs2008 powerpoint add-in project
2) Created a ribbon section
3) Created a contro onto it

Please point me in thr right direction with some step-by-step docs.

Best regards.

There's only one other post above yours. Be patient.

I'm not a programmer, so maybe I'm out of line to say this, but I didn't
find your question very clear as to what you're after. You said you were
able to create a ribbon section and put a control on it, so what exactly are
you having trouble with? There's a section of the ribbon (the Design tab)
that already has the elements of a theme -- the font, colors, and effects.

Sorry for not being clear enough, maybe it is because I'm quite
confused myself.

Actually, I have thought that there could be an example on the web
quite similar to my questions. Probably there is not.

I try to simplify what I would like to accomplish:

Create ribbon groups in which insert some of these functionality:
insert shapes, text and other elements that I should pre-draw in
another template pptx file.

Thanks for help.

Here is a great site to get you started.
