PPT for Office365, Windows 10.


Am I just blind, or are the timings for (e.g) start of play of media objects, created by Recording (i.e. with the RecordNarration command), not exposed in the Powerpoint Object Model as available to VBA?




They are visible in XML when presentations are saved in that form, as eg:
<p14:showEvtLst>
<p14:playEvt time="12722" objId="4"/>
<p14:stopEvt time="49628" objId="4"/>
</p14:showEvtLst>

It's workable but cumbersome to save to XML and extract these times from the XML
but considerably less convenient to modify them on the fly by the same method.

They MUST be stored in the native Powerpoint model somewhere, surely?

Any info gratefully received.

(Just to pre-empt any misunderstanding, this is NOT about Animations or Transitions))
