Adding PowerPoint 14.0 Object Library?

**arobe14039** · 12-01-2017, 12:01 PM

Hello everyone,

I have run into a big issue where i have created this beautiful program in excel which automatically creates PowerPoint presentations which contain shapes, charts, tables pictures, ect. This issue is that i wrote the program using Excel 2013, and I need to be able to give it to my collegues who have office 2010. The code is over 5000 lines and it would take days to convert to late binding.

If anyone has ANY fix for this I would greatly appreciate it!

Is there anyway to install PowerPoint 14.0 Object Library on office 2013?

Thanks!

Not that I know of.

Unless you are using some Objects/methods not present in older library, it should work by changing reference in the project.

If it doesn't, then you need to convert to late bind and remove reference.

In mixed environment, I'd recommend writing in early bind with reference to make it easier to code, then converting to late bind.

Do note, if you used built in constant (such as ppAccent1) then you'd need to replace with numeric value.

See link for list of constants (for 2003).

What do you mean by "Unless you are using some Objects/methods not present in older library, it should work by changing reference in the project."? I beleieve that I am only able to select powerpoint 14.0 object library in office 2010, and only able to select powerpoint 15.0 object library in office 2013. If I am able to select 14.0 on my office 2013 version and save it as that, that would probably work for office 2010, but i do not see that as an option. Am i missing something?

THANKS!

Right, so the user who has 2010 should just add reference to PowerPoint 14.0 Object library and remove 15.0 (you may not need to , but can't remember. It's been couple of years since my company transitioned to Office 365 environment across all layers).

This has to be done at his side (or you do it for him at his terminal).
