Roadmap for functionality with office.js in PowerPoint

Question

Is there a roadmap on extending office.js for PowerPoint? Would be nice to be able to interact with the elements on a slide. As a possibly quicker route if you enabled Office.CoercionType.Ooxml for more apps other than Word we could parse and manipulate the data ourselves.

The current PowerPoint capabilities for inserting text/images is very limited. My specific scenario is to move an old VSTO plugin over to the add-in model, where I iterate all text elements and look at the metadata.

Answer 1

I'm afraid not, PowerPoint has not provided a open specification along the lines of Excel or Word at this time.

I would strongly suggest posting your suggestions and blockers into the User Voice. For blocking issues, please be sure and note that this is blocking migration from VSTO. This information invaluable when it comes time to prioritize items on the roadmap.
