Building and Viewing a PowerPoint Target

When you have content, a PowerPoint page layout, and PowerPoint target in place for your project, you can build the output.

You can quickly build PowerPoint output from the PowerPoint target if you select Build. When it is complete, select View Output (or double-click the build row) from the Builds window pane. If the PowerPoint application is installed, the output opens in PowerPoint. The output files are placed in the Project's Output folder (e.g., C:\Project\Output\[name]\PPTX).

If no files have been identified for the page layout, TOC, or stylesheets in the Target Editor, the project builds with default target options.

What’s Next?

After building and viewing the PowerPoint output, you might find that you are finished and ready to make the output available to your end users. However, you also have the option of doing some post-processing work directly in PowerPoint if necessary. See Post-Processing in PowerPoint.
