Anyone know of an API or somesuch that examines a Powerpoint file and determines how long it will take to run?
I have a corporate broadcasting system that (in very simple terms) allows the following.
1. Show xyz.jpg for 20 seconds
2. Show Intranet page for 15 seconds
3. Show abc.swf for 20 seconds
4. Show MyPPT.ppt for 40 seconds
5. Goto step 1
The issue is that the users can edit and change the ppt on the fly, adding or deleting slides as they want. Currently they have to advise me of the new timings so I can change step 4. If I could automatically examine the file and find out the timing, I could programmatically change the duration easily.
Thanks
