contentType="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"!!

Hi

 

I have created a visualforce page with contentType="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint".

 

I want to know how to provide a "slide-break" (not sure if that's the right term to be used) in order to specify the content in different number of slides.

 

Because right now, irrespective of the size of the visualforce page, the entire page content falls into just a single slide.

 

I would appreciate any help on this issue.

 

Thanks,

 

Suri

Hi, I have the same issue. I think nobody has the answer because there is no respond to this post yet...

 

Thanks.

I tried the PDF method, as well as various elements (did not try any that seemed useless, but most of them), all with the same result. Only one slide was created, ever. I do not see any documentation for this, but it appears that PowerPoint is not an offically supported type at this time (only HTML and PDF seem to be fully supported). I guess we'll have to wait for a release that includes this feature.

Sumita,

Himanshunath - Did you ever get an answer to your question about your page being rendered as a blank slide?  I presume we only need to set the contentType attribute on the page tag to "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint".  I tried this and I only get a blank slide as well.  Did you do something additional to get the slide to render? 

 

thanx in advance.

I have used the tag as contentType="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint but it doesnt work. I am getting a blank slide. But this is achivable through javascript for few selected images I presume. If you are able to right click on an image and paste it in the PPT, then you should obviously be able to write a code to automate this.
