Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

customXmlParts

Returns a collection of custom XML parts in the Slide Master.

id

Gets the unique ID of the Slide Master.

layouts

Gets the collection of layouts provided by the Slide Master for slides.

name

Gets the unique name of the Slide Master.

shapes

Returns a collection of shapes in the Slide Master.

Methods

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.SlideMaster object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.SlideMasterData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
