Have you googled around for any third part component? If one exists, I am sure it'll cost some money. Why not just require Office to be installed and use the Office Interop Library?

Requiring office on the machine would be a way to offset costs to the consumer, instead of the programmer having to pay for a third party control :)

That is true, but the user would be able to use more than just Powerpoint.

He could always pass on the third party control cost to the user(s).
