The example above (MS Word) is quiet unsatisfying, as I find. Especially since I couldn't find anybody who actually got it running, including myself. You might therefore give this Powerpoint-example a chance: ---------------------------------- #Instantiate a PowerPoint object. $ppoint = new COM("PowerPoint.application") or die("Unable to instantiate PowerPoint"); #Create a new presentation $ppoint->Presentations->Add() or die ("Could not create presentation"); //Add a slide $slide=$ppoint->Presentations[1]->Slides->Add(1,1); //Get the name of this slide $slidename = $slide->Name(); echo"<br>slidename : $slidename"; //Change the name of this new slide $slide->Name = "New Slidename"; $slidename = $slide->Name(); echo"<br>NEW slidename : $slidename"; //Save the presentation $ppoint->Presentations[1]->SaveAs("c:/InetPub/www/test.ppt"); $ppoint->Presentations[1]->Close(); //closing powerpoint $ppoint->Quit(); //free the object $ppoint->Release(); $ppoint = null; ----------------------- the config is : w2k-server/office2k/iis5/php 4.1.1 isapi If you happen to run into a working word2k-example, please let me know.
