Greetings,
Is there a way other than Copy and paste each word (text), to create 10 separate slides of a 10-word sentence on PPT using a command or Plugin? (Task - 700 to an 800-word essay has to be separated into slides. One word per slide.)
@Tmab
Can you @MagaliP here.
Hi,
I am not sure I fully understand.Are you using the text component from the PowerPoint add-in? If so, you can copy/paste text components, or duplicate slides and the connection to the Anaplan saved view remains.
If you are talking about PowerPoint in general, maybe a VBA macro could do this? I searched quickly and found those articles which may be useful:
Does this help?
Hi , @Magali_Pelissier @Misbah
Appreciate your kind response.
Im suppose to turn a 700 word essay into 700 separate slide. Im looking for a way to do it without having to copy paste each word to a separate slide, although Iv'e made a master which takes care of the formatting of the text, but the cooy pasting is still quite tedious.
If you could help with it 🙂
Thanks again for being there !
In addition to @MagaliP and @Misbah ideas, you can also try creating a PowerPoint VBA script that will generate the slides.
I do this all the time with the Anaplan Way App by turning all the user stories into a separate PowerPoint slide.
You can apply the same logic to your essay.
Also, if you can share the use-case of why you need a separate slide for each word in the essay maybe I can help.
Here's a sanitized example of the PPTX I used to extract data from Excel and generate PowerPoint slides.
It's built using a single slide template and all the data is read in and populated on the slide. Slides generate at about 3 per second.
I'm planning to collaborate with @MagaliP to create a best practice around this so I can publish the actual VBA code.
Example:
Certainly! In PowerPoint, you can use the "Outline View" to separate your essay into individual slides quickly. Just go to the "View" tab, select "Outline View," and paste your essay. It will automatically create one word per slide. No need to copy and paste each word manually. And guys. I am just trying to be useful. Maybe you think I'm useless, but that's not spam
Hi everyone, I'm trying to use this function on specific members of my grid, as described in the documentation. In my example, the grid contains two row elements: ACTIF and PASSIF. The problem is that when I use this function, it affects all elements in the grid, whereas I only want it to apply to the specified member:…
Hi, Where are the member properties for lists defined in Anaplan XL? In the training documentation there is an example showing a property such as “Birth Date”, which appears to be a list-item attribute. That suggests you can create custom list properties from the Anaplan list. However, when I connect through Anaplan XL, I…
Hi all I have a list of networks organized hierarchically on a list of entities, which is itself organized hierarchically on a list of divisions (organization). An entity can have several networks. I also have a list of product models, which is itself ranked with three higher levels: this “Models” L4 list is ranked at a…
