Details

Generates an Annotated report based on the template provided. Elements of slide masters are identified by placeholder labels. As PowerPoint masters are created the labels can be difficult to predict. Word documents are identified by style names. This function will create a layout file identifying all of the elements of each slide master for a PowerPoint template or each paragraph and table style for a Word template.
