Functions

PowerPoint.createPresentation(base64File)	Creates and opens a new presentation. Optionally, the presentation can be pre-populated with a base64-encoded .pptx file. [ API set: PowerPointApi 1.1 ]
PowerPoint.run(batch)	Executes a batch script that performs actions on the PowerPoint object model, using a new RequestContext. When the promise is resolved, any tracked objects that were automatically allocated during execution will be released.
PowerPoint.run(object, batch)	Executes a batch script that performs actions on the PowerPoint object model, using the RequestContext of a previously-created API object. When the promise is resolved, any tracked objects that were automatically allocated during execution will be released.
PowerPoint.run(objects, batch)	Executes a batch script that performs actions on the PowerPoint object model, using the RequestContext of previously-created API objects.

Function Details

PowerPoint.createPresentation(base64File)

Creates and opens a new presentation. Optionally, the presentation can be pre-populated with a base64-encoded .pptx file.

[ API set: PowerPointApi 1.1 ]

export function createPresentation(base64File?: string): Promise<void>;

Parameters

base64File

string

Optional. The base64-encoded .pptx file. The default value is null.

Returns

Promise<void>

Examples

const myFile = <HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById("file");
const reader = new FileReader();

reader.onload = (event) => {
  // Remove the metadata before the base64-encoded string.
  const startIndex = reader.result.toString().indexOf("base64,");
  const copyBase64 = reader.result.toString().substr(startIndex + 7);

  PowerPoint.createPresentation(copyBase64);
};

// Read in the file as a data URL so we can parse the base64-encoded string.
reader.readAsDataURL(myFile.files[0]);

PowerPoint.run(batch)

Executes a batch script that performs actions on the PowerPoint object model, using a new RequestContext. When the promise is resolved, any tracked objects that were automatically allocated during execution will be released.

export function run<T>(batch: (context: PowerPoint.RequestContext) => OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>): OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>;

Parameters

batch

(context: PowerPoint.RequestContext) => OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>

A function that takes in a RequestContext and returns a promise (typically, just the result of "context.sync()"). The context parameter facilitates requests to the PowerPoint application. Since the Office add-in and the PowerPoint application run in two different processes, the RequestContext is required to get access to the PowerPoint object model from the add-in.

Returns

OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>

PowerPoint.run(object, batch)

Executes a batch script that performs actions on the PowerPoint object model, using the RequestContext of a previously-created API object. When the promise is resolved, any tracked objects that were automatically allocated during execution will be released.

export function run<T>(object: OfficeExtension.ClientObject, batch: (context: PowerPoint.RequestContext) => OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>): OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>;

Parameters

object

OfficeExtension.ClientObject

A previously-created API object. The batch will use the same RequestContext as the passed-in object, which means that any changes applied to the object will be picked up by "context.sync()".

batch

(context: PowerPoint.RequestContext) => OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>

A function that takes in a RequestContext and returns a promise (typically, just the result of "context.sync()"). The context parameter facilitates requests to the PowerPoint application. Since the Office add-in and the PowerPoint application run in two different processes, the RequestContext is required to get access to the PowerPoint object model from the add-in.

Returns

OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>

PowerPoint.run(objects, batch)

Executes a batch script that performs actions on the PowerPoint object model, using the RequestContext of previously-created API objects.

export function run<T>(objects: OfficeExtension.ClientObject[], batch: (context: PowerPoint.RequestContext) => OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>): OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>;

Parameters

objects

OfficeExtension.ClientObject[]

An array of previously-created API objects. The array will be validated to make sure that all of the objects share the same context. The batch will use this shared RequestContext, which means that any changes applied to these objects will be picked up by "context.sync()".

batch

(context: PowerPoint.RequestContext) => OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>

A function that takes in a RequestContext and returns a promise (typically, just the result of "context.sync()"). The context parameter facilitates requests to the PowerPoint application. Since the Office add-in and the PowerPoint application run in two different processes, the RequestContext is required to get access to the PowerPoint object model from the add-in.

Returns

OfficeExtension.IPromise<T>
