Welcome to the pptxcom wiki!

To begin working with PowerPoint using win32com, you need to declare a PowerPoint Application object:

There are several ways to do this.

Declare a PowerPoint Application object from the currently active PowerPoint instance:

import pptxcom as pt

PPT = pt.active_app()

Open an existing PowerPoint file and create a PowerPoint Presentation object from that:

import pptxcom as pt

Pres = pt.active_pres(r'path/to/filename.pptx')

There are several more options available, but the basic methods above should get you started and able to play around with some code.
