// load DOC file with an instance of Document

System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.doc");
// save the document in HTML file format
doc->Save(u"HtmlOutput.HTML");
// load the desired the presentation
SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = MakeObject<Presentation>();
// access first slide
SharedPtr<ISlide> sld = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// add an AutoShape of Rectangle type
SharedPtr<IAutoShape> ashp = sld->get_Shapes()->AddAutoShape(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10, 10, 700, 500);
// reset default fill color
ashp->get_FillFormat()->set_FillType(FillType::NoFill);
// add TextFrame to the Rectangle
ashp->AddTextFrame(u" ");
// access the text frame
SharedPtr<ITextFrame> txtFrame = ashp->get_TextFrame();
// get Paragraphs collection
SharedPtr<Aspose::Slides::IParagraphCollection>ParaCollection = txtFrame->get_Paragraphs();
// clear all paragraphs in added text frame
ParaCollection->Clear();
// load the HTML file using stream reader
SharedPtr<System::IO::StreamReader> tr = MakeObject<System::IO::StreamReader>(HtmlOutput.HTML);
// add text from HTML stream reader in text frame
ParaCollection->AddFromHtml(tr->ReadToEnd());
// save presentation as Ppt
pres->Save(output.ppt, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Ppt);

Load Password Protected DOC Document via C++
Apart from document conversion, Aspose.Words for C++ API allows tons of document manipulation features for C++ developers. In case your Microsoft Word DOC file format is password protected, you can still open it using the API. In order to load the encrypted document, you can use a special constructor overload, which accepts a LoadOptions object. This object contains the Password property, which specifies the password string.
// when loading password protected document, the password is passed to the document's constructor using a LoadOptions object.
auto options = MakeObject<LoadOptions>(u"docPassword");
// load the document from the local file system by filename:
SharedPtr<Document> doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"Encrypted.doc", options);
Add Comments in PPT Document via C++
While saving DOC as PPT, you can also use Aspose.Slides for C++ to add further features in your PPT document. For instance, you can add comments in your presentation. The presentation slide comment are associated with a particular author. The Presentation class holds the collection of authors in ICommentAuthorCollection that are responsible for adding slide comments. For each author, there is a collection of comments in ICommentCollection.
// instantiate Presentation class
SharedPtr<Presentation>pres = MakeObject<Presentation>();
// access first slide
SharedPtr<ILayoutSlide>layout = pres->get_LayoutSlides()->idx_get(0);
// add empty slide
pres->get_Slides()->AddEmptySlide(layout);
// adding Author
SharedPtr<ICommentAuthor> author = pres->get_CommentAuthors()->AddAuthor(u"John Doe", u"MF");
// set position of comments
System::Drawing::PointF point = System::Drawing::PointF(0.2f, 0.2f);
// add slide comment for an author on slide 1
author->get_Comments()->AddComment(u"Hello John, this is a slide comment", pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(1), point, DateTime::get_Now());
// access ISlide 1
SharedPtr<ISlide> slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// save presentation as Ppt
pres->Save(output.ppt, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Ppt);

What is DOC File Format?
The Microsoft Word Binary File Format (DOC) is a proprietary document file format employed by Microsoft Office Word. It represents a document structure that is independent of any specific computer architecture or operating system. The DOC format serves as a container file, utilizing a binary format to store various types of data, including formatted text, images, charts, and more. The binary nature of the DOC format renders it non-human-readable, but there exist several programs, such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, that can both read from and write to DOC files.
The DOC format was initially introduced in Word for Windows 2.0 back in 1987. It has undergone several revisions since then, with the most recent iteration being the Office Open XML format introduced in Office 2007. One of the key advantages of the DOC format lies in its compatibility with Microsoft Word, one of the most widely utilized word processing applications globally. This compatibility allows users to create and modify documents using Microsoft Word and conveniently share them with others who also utilize the application. Furthermore, many other word processing applications possess the capability to read from and write to the DOC format, making it a versatile choice for document sharing purposes.
The widespread adoption of the DOC format stems from its integration with Microsoft Word, providing users with a robust and feature-rich environment for creating and managing documents. The format’s flexibility extends beyond Microsoft Word, enabling users to work with DOC files using alternative word processing software. This versatility ensures seamless document collaboration and interchangeability among users, regardless of their chosen word processing application.
What is PPT File Format?
The PowerPoint file format, commonly known as PPT (PowerPoint Presentation), is a proprietary file format developed by Microsoft for creating and delivering presentations. PPT files are the standard file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint, the popular presentation software included in the Microsoft Office suite.
PPT files contain a combination of text, images, graphics, animations, and multimedia elements that are arranged in slides. Each slide represents a separate screen or page within the presentation and can include various content such as titles, bullet points, charts, tables, and media files like images, audio, and video.
The format of a PPT file is binary, meaning it stores data in a binary format that is optimized for efficient storage and processing by the PowerPoint application. PPT files also support a range of features and formatting options, including slide transitions, animations, speaker notes, and embedded objects.
In addition to being editable within Microsoft PowerPoint, PPT files can also be viewed and presented using the PowerPoint software or compatible applications on different platforms, including Windows, macOS, and mobile devices. They can be shared via email, transferred through portable storage devices, or uploaded to cloud storage platforms for easy collaboration and distribution.
While Microsoft PowerPoint is the primary software used to create and modify PPT files, there are alternative presentation software applications that can open and work with PPT files, such as LibreOffice Impress and Google Slides. However, it’s important to note that there may be some compatibility limitations or variations in feature support when using non-Microsoft software.
