Re: Macro Para Power Point
Bok Mull
I have embedded a PowerPoint presentation into a page; the images do not show up. Rather it is an image of the PPT. When I click it, it says that it's having trouble converting the file. Then is says to click download.
I have no problem using this macro with PPT or PPTX files, if I view it in confluence. When trying to view the same KB article in service desk, the presentation is just a small thumbnail of the first page and it cannot be clicked on at all. It seems there is no way to embed a ppt or pptx in confluence which customers can actual see in service desk, and that the only solution is to allow customers to download the file.
When i do it I get a confluence page with a long window displaying the full set of slides - not an interactive powerpoint. It looks a mess and is hard to work in other content and is slow as hell if its a large slidedeck - as in unusable.
I'm from Zoho Show and we'd like to introduce our add-on
Zoho Show for Confluence Cloud. You can now import , edit and manage all your powerpoint files in your confluence space , without switching between apps and user accounts.
I've been using confluence for a long time - hacky isn't the word I'd use. I think that too often they've been lazy with fixing bugs and not added simple features to macros forcing people to go to the marketplace. Whilst the marketplace may be good for some anyone who uses this at an enterprise level is likely to struggle with that option and I think having to buy another module because the thing I've bought has no functionality isn't a good customer experience.
To the point about office365 that's just a different beast - I do use confluence to create some documents, export them to word and deliver them to customers but my general use of confluence is to create simple information that is easy to read and link. In my work, I'm an IT architect, I've grown tired of the "never mind the quality feel the width" attitude to document creation. Confluence allows you to concentrate on simple documentation and avoid getting bogged down in templates with hundreds of styles that seem to proliferate over time.
The idea is to be able to take all graphs/plots from a script and push them into powerpoint. I would like customize this to be able to drag graphs to the slide and position them, along with text, outside of powerpoint and then push that to powerpoint.
I currently have the first part crudely done. Using the Application Builder I was able to create an app where it prompts the user for a script, runs the script, grabs all of the windows open from the script, throws them in a list where the user is able to select which graphs to go to PPT.
After that, I have a VBscript which is called once the user chooses a template. Any graph saved to HTML creates a GFX folder with the contents of that graph, and the VB script grabs the contents of that GFX folder and throws it into powerpoint.
My question is if you think is the right direction to take. I talked with some people at JMP yesterday and they mentioned that another path to look into is utilizing R. I haven't any experience with R but if its a better/more efficient path to take then I would look into it.
To expand on my current work, maybe I could just make and option for the user to select which part of the powerpoint to place the graph, along with text. But I wouldn't be sure on how to pass that to the VB script.
My suggestion would be to write your JMP application, have it perform the analysis and generate the graphs you want, and save them as images, completely independent of the presentation you are trying to create. Then, write a macro in PowerPoint which first calls your JMP script to run, then grabs the images it created from the specified folder.
I say this because the formatting in PowerPoint is a breeze in VBA (pretty much the only thing that IS easy in VBA), because it has a lot of built-in methods and a lot of online examples for how to use them.
If you are using VB script I'm assuming you have already looked at the OLE Automation support within JMP. I've not tried this, but you might want consider using XML as the interface mechanism - check out Open XML SDK.
Thanks for all the info m477. I was looking to keep this self contained in JMP, just create an add-in that I would be able to install on any machine with JMP and have it be able to run. Thats not entirely set in stone, so if this option is completely off base I can work with VBA.
The current Add-In I built in JMP grabs all of the open plots and adds the selected ones to a folder. So I do have a folder of all the plots that I want to get into PPT. The next step I am looking for is a form of customization. Within the jmp add in I want prompt the user for slide properties, including the number of graphs per slide, title of the slide, additional text and positions of slides/text.
Pretty sure there is a way to do that, and it should be easier than writing to a text file. VBA has a lot of associations with JMP, and if you have JMP installed on your machine, go to VBA Editor>Tools>References... and you should see a long list of selectable applications to use as references. Find "JMP" and click the box, and now you have a built-in library of commands you can issue to JMP. You can basically script JMP from VBA this way.
*the image editing is sequential and does not like negative numbers: if you want to crop 40 and end at 10, cannot start at -30 and crop and stop, but have to start at 10, crop and then after use left (or top)
This might be very simple to achieve, but I don't know how to see it through.
When I create presentations using MS powerpoint, I have to go from slide to slide (say from Slide 3 to slide 45). So far I have reached the required slide using the slide sorter.
I just came across the same issue. For example to go to slide 60, my solution is to enter the presentation mode and go back to editing mode immediately afterwards: 60 . A few more keystrokes but fast enough and working well for me.
That,s the way to go about it:To go to a particular slide in the same presentation select a word in the slide to be hyperlinked. In the left selection bar "Link to": Select "place in this document". this will show you the slide numbers on the right. Select the one you want to go to. Works perfect!
Then I add the same icon on the page I 'jump' to with a link that sends me back too. If you animate this icon so that it only appears at the end of all animations in that slide, the presenter can keep clicking the mouse button from the source slide 'play button' through these animations and then jump back without needing to move the mouse/cursor.
Normally I have found the MS office equation editor adequate for simple presentations, but this time I seem to be unable to get the effect I want with the particular font I want (probably because Powerpoint's font support is abysmal).
I'm looking for a way to do this quickly and efficiently. I know I can use something like the standalone class, but I'm looking for a more efficient way, if it exist. Something that allows me to generate equations and copy them on the fly without the hassle of a regular tex document.
Mac users: the MacTex distribution comes with a software called LaTeXIt. You enter LaTeX code (equations, TikZ, tables, whatever) and compile it to an image (png, pdf, etc) you can copy onto a slide. Works great.
I found a decent-enough solution to my problem. KLatexFormula seems to do what I need. You can type anything you want and it immediately exports an image which may be copied, while also allowing you to efficiently control the preamble.
Finding myself in a similar position couple of days back, I got introduced to Mathcha tool and been personally using it 24x7. With it's super-easy GUI board, it gives freedom to create otherwise complicated diagrams/figs/ in an extremely customizable fashion.
To save your work in Mathcha, you may sign-in to Mathcha using your either of your facebook, google or twitter github account. You can directly start drawing your images with either a New Document or a New Repository.
This might not sound like a proper sophisticated answer. I think the quickest way is to generate the latex equations in the TeXstudio or something and then use the snip tool/any other screen grabbing tool to get the equation out. Works all the time.
Just an idea since I never had to do that. If you compile the latex source with htlatex, all the math formulas are rendered in png images. So you just have to gather them, but its up to you to have them inserted at good place.
By the way, you can use mathpix snipping tool to convert low quality images of equations to latex, then use the latexIt to convert latex code to convert latex code into high quality images suited for powerpoint.
PowerPoint es, desde hace dcadas, una de las soluciones preferidas para la creacin de presentaciones digitales. Se estima que cada ao se crean ms de 100 000 millones de diapositivas con el software de Microsoft, por ejemplo, para acompaar exposiciones escolares, conferencias pblicas o presentaciones comerciales con imgenes y texto. Y aquellos que utilizan el software (disponible para todos los usuarios de Microsoft Office Suite) pueden hacer que su trabajo sea ms fcil con tan solo unos clics. Las plantillas, por ejemplo, gozan de mucha popularidad, ya que contienen algunos diseos o formatos predefinidos, como fuentes, tamaos de fuente u opciones de color listos para emplearse.
