Script to modify a presentation.

Hi all,

I'm trying to automate a process of creating reports. The report is a power point presentation sent across by my management. Since I cannot modify the table created by a power point in Impress, I re-created the tables in all the slides. (Do you have any suggestions for this tables?)

Anyway, now I'm trying to write a PHP script to read the data and update the tables in the presentation. I tried searching for tutorials on how I can address these tables to modify them or how do I create new tables in the slides if required.

Any links to documentation on how to create and modify Office files through scripts will help me.

Thanks,
Bharat Devdas

I don't know if it helps you, but OOo 3 added support for tables in presentations. You should be able to edit the Powerpoint tables with a current version of OOo.
