I've found a lot of references and examples using microsoft.office.interop.powerpoint using v12 through v15 (pre Office 365) but I cannot find any information on if it is possible to interact with PowerPoint from C# using version 16. From what I can tell Microsoft is no longer supporting this, but I'm wondering

I will say, I'm a novice at this, so I apologize is this is a silly question.

There are two things I'm trying to do:

  1. Save As > MP4
  2. Edit text on a slide

If you know, please let me know if this is even possible. Thanks!

  • Hi Micky: 1. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/docs. This doesn't seem to have interop capabilities 2. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49895408/cannot-add-reference-to-outlook-2016-office-365-interop-16-0-0-0. This seems to use v15 as a fallback, and I'm looking for something that uses v16. 3. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/office-2010/ff762466(v=office.14). This uses v15 or earlier. I'm starting to think it's not possible anymore, but not sure. Any help is appreciated! – perskine Mar 05 '19 at 16:44
  • All roads point to add-ins. This isn't very fun for something like a bulk processing. I saw something in PowerAutomate but that can become billable and ties you to O365 services. There might be an LibreOffice/OpenOffice API? – Craig.C Nov 03 '22 at 19:03
