Hello everyone,

I am attempting to add functionality to an Excel VBA macro that will
allow a user to build a Powerpoint chart using various named ranges
and such in Excel. I thought it would be good to have a "preview" of
what the final product would look like in the user form that acts as
the user's interface. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on
this (or at least I cannot find it). Is this possible without using
API calls?

I was thinking along the lines of programatically creating a
powerpoint application object, adding a new chart, etc, and somehow
embedding a "view" from powerpoint into the user form. There doesn't
seem to be anything related to PowerPoint in the "Additional
Controls..." dialog so I am at a loss.
