Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load TXT file with an instance of Document
Document document = new Document("template.txt");
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.txt");
// 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 Potm
pres->Save(output.potm, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Potm);

Load Password Protected TXT 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 TXT 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.txt", options);
Add Comments in POTM Document via C++
While saving TXT as POTM, you can also use Aspose.Slides for C++ to add further features in your POTM 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 Potm
pres->Save(output.potm, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Potm);

What is TXT File Format?
A TXT (text) file is indeed a plain text file format used for storing and exchanging text-based information without any formatting or layout. It is a simple and widely supported file format that consists of a sequence of characters without any specific structure or metadata.
TXT files are commonly used for various purposes, such as creating and sharing documents, taking notes, writing memos, and storing configuration and log files. They are particularly useful for storing data that can be easily read and processed by computers or software programs, as they contain unformatted text.
One of the advantages of TXT files is their universal accessibility. They are supported by virtually all operating systems and applications, making them easy to open and view on different platforms. TXT files can be created and edited using any text editor, ranging from basic options like Notepad to more advanced ones like Sublime Text or Vim.
Due to their simplicity, TXT files have small file sizes compared to other file formats that include formatting or embedded objects like images or tables. This makes TXT files efficient for exchanging large amounts of text-based data, such as email messages or code snippets.
What is POTM File Format?
POTM is a file format used in Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentation templates that also include macros. Similar to the POTX format, POTM files are part of the Office Open XML (OOXML) format introduced in PowerPoint 2007.
The “M” in POTM stands for macros, indicating that these templates can contain VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code that automates tasks and enhances the functionality of the presentation. This allows users to create dynamic and interactive templates that go beyond static design elements.
POTM files offer the same benefits as POTX files in terms of providing pre-designed slide layouts, formatting, and styles. However, the inclusion of macros adds an extra layer of interactivity and automation to the templates. Macros can perform tasks such as data manipulation, calculations, slide transitions, and user interactions, making presentations more engaging and efficient.
To use a POTM file, users can open it in PowerPoint or select it as a template when creating a new presentation. The macros embedded in the POTM template can be executed and interacted with during the presentation, providing enhanced functionality beyond what is possible with a standard template.
It’s important to note that due to security concerns, some systems and organizations may have restrictions on running macros in PowerPoint presentations. In such cases, users may need to adjust their security settings or obtain necessary permissions to enable the execution of macros in POTM files.
POTM files are compatible with different versions of PowerPoint on various platforms, allowing users to create and share templates with macros across different devices and environments. They provide a powerful tool for creating interactive and automated presentations, offering greater flexibility and customization options for users.
