Erasing Bulleted text.

[Guest]

I am working on Powerpoint Automation. I have to erase that bulleted text on
the slide as soon as the slide show starts, Becoz I want to put something
else in place of those bulleted text. Now, the problem is that I m able to
erase the text but when it comes to removing individual bulleted text I am
not able to erase them Individually. For say, If I just want to erase the
first bulllet then I cannot do that. If I try to erase it all the other
bullets under it gets erased. So, its taking all the bullets as one entity.
Is there any way so that I can handle Individual bulleted text and, hence, I
can erase whichever bulleted text I want to erase?

Thanks.

Since you can at least do an exit animation, I'll assume you're using PPT
2002 or 2003.

I'm not entirely clear about what you are doing and what isn't working.
If you have a shape, you should be able to access that shape's
TextFrame.TextRange.Text or perhaps set that shape's
TextFrame.TextRange.Paragraphs(1).Text = "" in order to delete the first
bulleted item/paragraph.

Put each bulleted bit in a separate text box

This is about working in the powerpoint.
Butr What I am trying is to erase the text programmatically Using VC++ and
Powerpoint Automation.

Well, your original post didn't say anything about using code/doing this
programatically. PowerPoint Automation can mean a lot of things to a lot of
people, so...

I'm not a coder, though, so I guess we'll have to wait and see if any of
them have any ideas for you. I know that you'll get a better response from
them, though, if you post the code that you have so they can help you
correct it. That's better than having a bunch of people trying to guess what
you're doing wrong.
