now I've changed the setting so that the powerpoint would be opened without file download prompt.
now I need to focus on that already opened powerpoint and do some testing through ruby. earlier i was saving the powerpoint ( clicking the save button from that file download prompt) and opening the same ppt as ppt = WIN32OLE.new('PowerPoint.Application') ppt.Visible = true * **doc = ppt.Presentations.Open('C:\Documents and Settings\sinhaa\My Documents\JHEPAT_2010_VOL51_PG845.ppt')* slidecount = doc.Slides.Count puts slidecount but now as ppt already opened so rather than opening the ppt i should be able to directly count the slides on that ppt. i tried with below code but it seems not working. any thoughts??? ppt = WIN32OLE.new('PowerPoint.Application') ppt.Visible = true slidecount = doc.Slides.Count puts slidecount Regards Arihan On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 2:11 PM, Jarmo Pertman <jarm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Only workaround i've used so far is that i've used virtual machine so > you can lock your main machine.
