What is the best way to read tabular data (possibly into collections) from powerpoint files ? Do we have any other alternative options other than surface automation? Please share your experience Thanks Wed, 19 Sep 2018 12:01:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Best-way-to-read-tabular-data-into-collections-from-powerpoint/m-p/51453#M6509 RajeshKizhakkev 2018-09-19T12:01:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Best-way-to-read-tabular-data-into-collections-from-powerpoint/m-p/51454#M6510 Hello, There is no other option Except Surface Automation Technique.
