When I try to use your custom activity multiple times on the same file, I have this error :"System.Exception: A PowerPoint process is running. Please be sure all instances of PowerPoint are closed"When I use this activity one time, it's alright.But when I use it multiple time, even if I use another activity between (I've tried to use a delay, in order to allow him to close file before), but the powerpoint is never closed before the other activity.Have you a solution for this ?Thanks

Hi, I have been trying to use this activity for PowePoint but I have this error:"System.Exception: A PowerPoint process is running. Please be sure all instances of PowerPoint are closed".If only used once it has no problem. But if I want to edit more than one textbox it gives me this error. I have tried to use delays or to close the application between the use of one an another but it didn´t work.Do you have a solution so I can use it many times?Thank you.

Using a for each to loop through datarow to update slide and got the powerpoint process is running error. Tried to get processes and kill all "POWERPNT" process before didn't help.

 - It was usable.If you can specify the shape name in addition to the shape number, it will be easier to use.

The activity will first make sure there is no PowerPoint process running. If there is none, then it will create its own instance given a certain FilePath. Text can be entered based on the slide number, font, font size, and the shape on the slide. The shapes will be be numbered on the slide in a counterclockwise fashion. With this information a developer can replace the inefficient process of going through the User Interface.&nbsp;This activity has the following inputs:<ul><li>FilePath ( string containing the full path of the PowerPoint presentation )&nbsp;</li><li>SlideNumber ( index to indicate where the slide should be inserted )&nbsp;</li><li>Content ( actual text to be entered )</li><li>FontName ( font for the text )&nbsp;</li><li>FontSize ( size of the text )</li><li>ShapeNumber ( which shape on the slide will have its text edited )&nbsp;</li></ul>NOTE: Installation Guidelines for&nbsp;Custom Activities&nbsp;can be found&nbsp;<a href=https://dmtyylqvwgyxw.cloudfront.net/instances/214/assets/help-guides/UiPath-Go-Installation-Guide-Custom-Activities.pdf target=_blank>here</a>.
