"Preparing for Microsoft Scipt Editor" - Eating resources....

[Simon Turner]

Hello People,

I am trying to look at the HTML code for slides within my presentation
in C#. I can do this fine using the following code:

HTMLProjectItem myItem =
pptCurrentPres.HTMLProject.HTMLProjectItems.Item(index);

string html = myItem.Text;

The problem is, when i access the Text property of any HTMLProjectItem
Powerpoint decides it wants to "Preparing for Microsoft Scipt Editor"
which takes about 5 seconds for big presentations.

Is there anyway i can stop it from doing this?

No, it needs the Script Editor when you make the call to retrieve the HTML
source.
