Get Text Portions

Introduction

In PowerPoint table cells, you can work with individual parts of text by changing their formatting independently. For example, you can select a portion of text and change its font, size, color, or style (bold, italic, underline) without affecting the rest of the text. Use the following methods to get text portions from a paragraph.

GetTableCellPortions
