Slide Layout

Add a slide based on the layouts defined in the master Presentation to the report.

To view the layouts of the master Presentation, navigate to View > Slide Master as shown in the image below.
Note:
  • The slide layout options provided in the master document are aligned with Microsoft Presentation's Slide Master Layouts. More layouts can be added in the master document if necessary.
    Tip: For more information on how to add slide master and the corresponding slide layouts, refer to Microsoft Office PowerPoint help.
  • All layouts must be grouped under one Slide master. If the master document has more than one slide master, then only the layouts from the first slide master are read by the solution.
  • While reading contents of Layouts from the Presentation master document:
    • Only placeholders of type Text, Image, and Table are read. Other placeholders such as Chart, SmartArt, and Media are not supported.
  • If a layout contains more than one table placeholder and the split table option is activated for more than one table, then only the first table is split.
