Intro
In order to ensure that data sets with multiple rows fit neatly in a PowerPoint presentation, PowerPointWriter allows the user to manipulate the way data is imported. This guide will explain how to use the various PowerPointWriter options for fitting data on to multiple slides.
MaxRowsPerSlide
The MaxRowsPerSlide property allows the user to control how many rows of data are imported into any slide.
Setting the MaxRowsPerSlide Property
When used by itself, MaxRowsPerSlide will stop importing data when the limit has been reached, and no more data from that data set will be imported into the presentation. To import all of the data in a data set, MaxRowsPerSlide must be used with the Continue modifier or Repeat marker.
The Continue Modifier
The Continue modifier allows data from a single data source to be imported across multiple slides. When data is being imported into a data source, and the MaxRowsPerSlide limit is reached, PowerPointWriter will look in the presentation for another data marker with the Continue modifier. It will then begin importing data into this data marker, starting with the next row of data in the data source. If the Continue modifier is not used, PowerPointWriter will begin importing data from the first row in the data source.
