Reformatting place holders in the footer

Aspose.Slides Product Family
#1

Hi,


I am trying to change the alignment of the slide number place holder but not having any success. Here is what I am trying to do:

IMasterSlide currentSlide = doc.Masters[0];

Drawing.Rectangle footerArea = new Drawing.Rectangle(ReportConstants.DEFAULT_MARGIN_SIDE_SMALL, (int)slideSize.Height - ReportConstants.DEFAULT_MARGIN_BOTTOM,
(int)slideSize.Width - (ReportConstants.DEFAULT_MARGIN_SIDE_SMALL*2), ReportConstants.DEFAULT_MARGIN_BOTTOM);

foreach(IShape s in currentSlide.Shapes)
{
if (s.Placeholder != null)
if((s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber ) ||
(s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.Footer) ||
(s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.DateAndTime))
{
IAutoShape shape = (IAutoShape)s;
shape.Y = footerArea.Top;
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].PortionFormat.FontHeight = 9;
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].ParagraphFormat.Alignment = (s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber) ? TextAlignment.Right : TextAlignment.Left;
shape.TextFrame.TextFrameFormat.AnchoringType = TextAnchorType.Center;
shape.TextFrame.TextFrameFormat.TextStyle.DefaultParagraphFormat.Alignment = (s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber) ? TextAlignment.Right : TextAlignment.Left;
shape.TextFrame.TextFrameFormat.AutofitType = TextAutofitType.Shape;
if(s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber)
shape.X = footerArea.Right - shape.Width;
}
}


I am able to change the font size but not the alignment. Can you help with this?

Thanks,
Karthik

Hi Owais,


You could just run this code snippet on a sample presentation object and add a couple of slides:

doc = new Presentation();
IMasterSlide currentSlide = doc.Masters[0];
foreach(IShape s in currentSlide.Shapes)
{
if (s.Placeholder != null)
if((s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber ))
{
IAutoShape shape = (IAutoShape)s;
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].PortionFormat.FontHeight = 9;
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].ParagraphFormat.Alignment = (s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber) ? TextAlignment.Right : TextAlignment.Left;
shape.TextFrame.TextFrameFormat.TextStyle.DefaultParagraphFormat.Alignment = (s.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.SlideNumber) ? TextAlignment.Right : TextAlignment.Left;
}
}
//add a few slides and save the ppt at this point.

The alignment for the slide number placeholder does not move to the right as requested. As you can see I have tried to change both default paragraph alignment and the alignment in the placeholder shape itself. Neither of these seem to work.

Thanks,
Karthik.

Additional info: This only affects the PPT save format and not the PPTX save format.

Hi Karthik,

I checked your issue as per the code shared by you and I can see that alignment is working fine when saving the file as PPTX but when saving as PPT, alignment is not working fine. Are you facing the same issue. I would request you to share your complete code and both generated files with us as well so we can investigate the issue exactly as you are facing it.

Thanks & Regards,
