This group is about Watir, not WIN32OLE. I would look for microsoft's
documentation on what powerpoint exposes for OLE automation.
You will probably have to iterate over open applications to detect the
existing powerpoint window. You might look at the source of Watir::IE.each
(ie-class.rb, line 236) for an example of iterating over application
windows, though that is of course for IE windows and not powerpoint, and
you'd have to adapt it heavily to get what you need out of it.
