ODS POwerpoint - Use Shapes

[akash1088]

Hi All,

I want to create a ppt in which i want to show a numbers on conditions that if the number is greater than zero than that i have to display that number inside Arrow:Up like shape and if the number is less than zero than we have to show that number in down arrow shape.

Is there any way to do this ?

I don't think you can do this with the ODS Powerpoint engine.

However, what you can do is have a template, and then modify it to your liking:

- Just open the PPTX file as a ZIP file with SAS.

- In that ZIP file, you'll find the slides.

- Microsoft's XML is very ugly, but if you saved the template with a down arrow containing the text "TEMPLATE TEXT", you'll find these two elements (arrow and text) in the slide file.

- You can modify these 2 elements and save the file again.
