We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a 500,000-strong developer community, and 5MM+ robots at work in over 5,000 global enterprises.

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

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>.

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.
