you can do it but you have to have powerpoint installed on the machin so you could add reference to "Microsoft PoewerPoint Object Libraray 9.0/8.0" depending upon the OFFICE version you have

Well Jeenik
you have to check if powerpoint is installed on the machine the thing which i do is to atleast register the powerpoint object "Microsoft PowerPoint Object 8.0/9.0" at client you could make a small utility which can do this its very easy to give this or u can make it done automatically using
RegSvr32 in ur application ..
You can check the existance of powerpoint thru registry and if its not installed then give the user a friendly msg so they could know what application is required to install OR u could give them a utility to call for that portion of OFFICE which can installed Powerpoint on theri machine its also could be done
I hope u got it
if u still have any q please feel free to contact me
