Remarks

[ API set: PowerPointApi 1.4 ]

Examples

// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/powerpoint/text/get-set-textrange.yaml

// Sets the color of the selected text range to green.
await PowerPoint.run(async (context) => {
  const textRange: PowerPoint.TextRange = context.presentation.getSelectedTextRange();
  textRange.font.color = "green";
  await context.sync();
});

Properties

bold

Represents the bold status of font. Returns null if the TextRange includes both bold and non-bold text fragments.

color

HTML color code representation of the text color (e.g., "#FF0000" represents red). Returns null if the TextRange includes text fragments with different colors.

context

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

italic

Represents the italic status of font. Returns 'null' if the 'TextRange' includes both italic and non-italic text fragments.

name

Represents font name (e.g., "Calibri"). If the text is a Complex Script or East Asian language, this is the corresponding font name; otherwise it is the Latin font name.

size

Represents font size in points (e.g., 11). Returns null if the TextRange includes text fragments with different font sizes.

underline

Type of underline applied to the font. Returns null if the TextRange includes text fragments with different underline styles. See PowerPoint.ShapeFontUnderlineStyle for details.

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's passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.ShapeFont object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.ShapeFontData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
