Is it possible to save journal and append the .jrn file to ppt thru scripting?

txnelson

Yes you can append the contents of a saved journal to a pptx file.

Look in the Scripting Index

     Help==>Scripting Index

for the "Save Presentation" message

Below is a very simple example that does what you are asking for

names default to here(1);

nw1=new window("example",<<journal,outline box("Title",text box("Slide saved")));

nw1 << save journal("$TEMP/journal1.jrn");

nw1 << close window;

nw2=new window("example",<<journal,outline box("Title2",text box("slide1")));

nw2 << save presentation("$TEMP/Presentation.pptx");

nw2 << close window;

nwx = open("$TEMP/journal1.jrn");

nwx << save presentation("$TEMP/Presentation.pptx", insert(End));

open("$TEMP/Presentation.pptx");
