Extracting text from the outline pane

[Bennet Ha]

Hi,

Can anybody please ive me some clue on how to programatically extract the
full text fromk the outline pane of Power Point 2003? A VBA code snippet
would be most useful.

We normally extract text from Power Point with the TextRange object.
However, I have not been able to identify a TextRange object that correspond
to the full text in the outline pane.

You will need to modify the code to limit yourself to the text in
placeholders, if you want only the outline pane text.

Hello Bennet,
If you only need the text from the outline. Then just save a copy of the
presentation as outline (RTF format). This creates a file containing the
text from the outline pane.
