Spire.Presentation is a powerful and easy-to-use .NET component, especially designed for developers. Using Spire.Presentation you can generate, modify, convert, render, and print documents without installing Microsoft PowerPoint on your machine. There is a document in our website introducing you how to insert table. And in this document, I will introduce you how to remove tables within a PPT document.
Step 1: Create Presentation instance and load file.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
presentation.LoadFromFile("sample.ppt");
Step 2: Get the tables within the PPT document.
List shape_tems = new List();
foreach (IShape shape in presentation.Slides[0].Shapes)
{
if (shape is ITable)
{
//add new table to table list
shape_tems.Add(shape);
}
}
Step 3: Remove all tables.
foreach (IShape shape in shape_tems)
{
presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.Remove(shape);
}
Step 4: Save the document.
presentation.SaveToFile("result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
Download and install Spire.Presentation for .NET and refer to below code to remove tables within PPT document.
