In-Paragraph List in Presentation Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a In-Paragraph List report in Presentation Document format based on the use case: Working with a Business Case.

Practicing the following steps you can create In-Paragraph List Template in MS PowerPoint 2013.

1. Add a new presentation slide.
2. Write a sentence, for example “We provide support for the following products:”.
3. Save the template.

As a report developer, you are required to describe the services you are providing with the following key requirements:

• A descriptive or informative line like “We provide support for the following products:”.
• Show all the products along with the above sentence.
• Report must be generated in the Presentation Document.

We provide support for the following products:
<<foreach [in products]>><<[IndexOf() != 0 ? ", " : ""]>>
<<[ProductName]>>
<</foreach>>

Tip

OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) is a presentation document format which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint Document (PPT/PPTX) formats. Since ODP is not a Microsoft Proprietary format, there are multiple software (including Microsoft Office and Apache OpenOffice) available to create, open, edit and save this format. For more information on the available software to work with ODP, please visit wikipedia article.

In this topic, we’ll not reinvent the wheel to recreate a template for generating an ‘In-Paragraph List’ report in ODP format. Instead, we’ll save the existing template to ODP format using Microsoft Office. In order to achieve this; assuming you are using Microsoft Office 2010, please follow below steps:

1. Open existing template we created in previous topic.
2. Click “File” and select “Save As”.
3. Select “OpenDocument Presentation” from “Save As Type” drop down.
4. Click “Save”.

• In-Paragraph List_OpenDocument.odp (use same template for database, dataset and JSON examples)
• In-Paragraph List_XML_OpenDocument.odp

In order to check compatibility of ODP between Microsoft Office 2010 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2, we performed below tests:

• We opened the ODP template created through Microsoft Office 2010 in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The template opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
• We opened the ODP report generated through GroupDocs.Assembly in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The report opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
