Usethe SaveAs method to save a presentation that has not been previously saved. To determine whether a presentation has been saved, test for a nonempty value for the FullName or Path property. If a document that has the same name as the specified presentation already exists on disk, that document will be overwritten. No warning message is displayed.

I have following problem in PowerPoint. I have embedded an URL of my power BI report. Few weeks ago the functionality for 'show as saved image' still worked, but today not anymore. I get this instead for my power bi report.


Hi @lh9000 I finally discovered a solution provided by Microsoft What's new in the Power BI add-in for PowerPoint - Power BI Microsoft Learn. On March this year they created a new functionality for static images that allows you to choose if you want this static images to be available to everyone even without access to Power BI reports or only available to people with access granted to the Power BI reports. To have access to this you just need to press the Live Data button in the bottom left corner of your embed report and choose either public snapshot or just snapshot, then save your Power Point. When you open it again it will load as an image.


@Spirou_PT_LX I am currently working with a client who is on a different tenant, meaning that due to the current limitation they will not be able to view the data live. I used to use the "Show as saved image" but that no longer work. Using the Public Snapshot does not work either and is leaving the visuals either blank or like in below picture. Does this new functionality not work cross-tenant?


Based on a previous thread I posted I also tried Thread.Join() to see if I could simply wait for the save thread to finish before I continued but it didn't pause at all while the file was being saved so I ended up with the same result.


If you opened an attachment while using the Internet and went straight into editing the document, you are editing a document that is stored in your Temporary Internet Files location, which is a location deep (and often hidden) inside your Windows profile. Even if you download it, you run the risk of losing the file if you do not back it up to cloud-based storage (e.g. OneDrive). Many times these files are given very long, complicated names, and are lost due to clearing the browser's history and/or cache. The files in Temporary Internet Files are not designed to be intentionally saved, but are instead cached copies of web pages, images, etc. that make browsing the web much faster.


BE CAREFUL! If you save your attachment to the computer make sure you make a backup of the file to OneDrive or Google Drive, otherwise you will lose the document after you log out of the computer.


In PowerPoint, click on the Insert Ribbon. Go to the Media grouping on the far right side, and then click on the drop-down arrow under Video. Choose Online Video to add a video from YouTube. Choose Video on My PC to add a video saved on your computer. Select the video you want to add to your presentation, and then click Insert. The video will appear on your slide for you to edit as needed.


2. On drop-down menu, click on Video on My PC. An Insert Video box will appear. Using left sidebar of Insert Video box, navigate to where you have saved your video. Select the video you want to insert, then click the Insert button in bottom right corner.


You can also add media into your slide using the placeholder commands that appear on new slides. Click on the icon corresponding to the type of media you want to include, and then follow the steps above.


Box Tools is an add-on feature that allows you to open and edit files stored in Box. Designed for all file types, browsers, and platforms, Box Tools uses the default application installed on your computer to open and edit files: Docx files open in Microsoft Word, PPTx files open in Microsoft PowerPoint, Xlsx files open in Excel, and so forth.


After editing a file using Box Tools, simply save your changes in the native application. All changes will be saved back to Box automatically as a new version of the file. You will see a status display stating, has been successfully saved to Box.


When you save your file, be sure you hit Save in the native application and not Save As. If you select Save As, you will be creating a new copy of your file on your machine, and your changes will not be saved back to Box.


If you insert a video file into Impress 5.1.0.3 (on ubuntu 14.04 64bit) and run the screenshow, the video plays as expected. However, if you save the presentation and exit impress and reopen impress and load the presentation the video is missing.


It really works, but pptx does not work, try to saved from odp to pptx. This is bug, please can anybody from development team help here? It is serious problem, because pptx pres with video cannot be shared. Thanks!


See the Plotly docs at:

plot.ly Static Image ExportPlotly allows you to save static images of your plots. Save the image to your local computer, or embed it inside your Jupyter notebooks as a static image.


@maddy6 If I understand you correctly you want to generate a powerpoint file with plots in it? If you want to do that I guess you could use the satic png export from plotly and then embed it using the python-pptx package ( -pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)


Cornell's contract with Microsoft ensures that any information you enter in Microsoft Copilot is kept private. Your data and Cornell's data are protected, chats aren't saved, Microsoft does not have visibility into the conversation, and your data isn't used to train the underlying large language models.


Copilot does not currently offer you a way to export your entire session's conversation. You will need to save both individual queries, as well as individual responses. Trying to use Select all in your browser's window will also not capture the conversation for you.


Due to data protection you cannot access a chat history like you can in a personal (not Cornell-protected) version of Copilot. Microsoft does not store any data after you end your chat session.


By following these simple steps, you can take control over where your PowerPoint presentations are saved, and stop PowerPoint from saving into OneDrive or the cloud by default, keeping your files where you want them and ensuring your workflow remains as efficient as ever.


I would like to create a pdf-file (like a CV) with information from a SharePoint list. The pdf-file should be generated and saved automatically to the SharePoint list. The user has to fill in his information into the SharePoint list (and only at this place) and the file should be provided to him after inserting the information.


It's worth mentioning upfront that this solution is a paid service with a free trial available. It significantly simplifies the process, requiring only a few easy steps in Power Automate. To begin, you'll need to register for an account at Plumsail - www.plumsail.com/documents - for their product. This product has a 30-day free trial. Once registered, you can create a process either by using one of their templates or by uploading your own. Detailed instructions on creating a process can be found in this quick guide.


Alternatively, you can choose any other Power Automate trigger or create an automated cloud flow. For instance, if you want a document to be generated automatically when a SharePoint list item is created, you can select the When an item is created trigger from SharePoint


4. Finally, locate the Plumsail Documents action named "Start document generation process with JSON." If this is your first time connecting Plumsail Documents in Power Automate, you'll be prompted to enter an API key. You can easily generate an API key in your Plumsail account and then copy and paste it back into Power Automate. Next, select the process you've created in your Plumsail account. In our case, it's the "Purchase order" process. This process represents the template document that will be populated with data from the SharePoint list. In the "Template data" field, enter the code in JSON format as shown in the picture below. This code will establish connections between SharePoint list fields and tokens in the PDF document template:


This concludes the flow. There's a full article as well as a YouTube video that goes into all the details on how to set up a process and construct a Power Automate flow for converting SharePoint list items into PDF documents. I would also like to mention that I am affiliated with Plumsail. However, I want to emphasize that I genuinely recommend this product.


You can achieve full control over the layout of the resulting PDF file without using HTML by using the Plumsail Documents connector. This approach allows you to use Word or Excel document templates to automatically populate them with SharePoint data and convert to PDF.


thank you for your explanations and the provided links. I already managed to create a pdf file. But I'm not really happy with the output yet as you can see on the attached screenshot. Do you have further suggestions of how to change the layout of the pdf?
