Nprinting powerpoint - two levels of paging

Nprinting powerpoint - two levels of paging

We have situations where we need paging inside paging, for example Use Client as first level paging, and then at 2nd level paging location under each client, whole purpose is to generate separate slide for each location under clients. More on two level paging question, this is specifically for PowerPoint, NPrinting is not supporting two level paging in PowerPoint template. I have 10 slides for each client and out of these 10 slides, one slide needs to page for 20 locations for a client, NPrinting cannot do this, question is if it will be available in future.

I introduced this idea over here -

@Digvijay_Singh This is already possible. Simply create a table with the required dimensions. You can then use this table as a page in PP Report. The loop will then run e.g. over the first dimension and for each value in the second.

@eike_s Thanks for your response. I am aware of using table as a page field. Our requirement is little more complex. Its like as below - 

Page Field 1 - Client Name

Page Field 2 - Location Name

The slide structure is like this - 

Slide no 1 - Slide no 20 (Must page for each client name value)

Inside that Slide no 5- Slide no 7 ( Must Page for each location under each client)

Pl let me know if you know any trick to manage this kind of set up - apply paging on few slides only  using 2nd dimension(location)  inside higher level paging(Client Name).

I can apply client-location table based paging on slide 5 - 7 only if I keep them entirely separate from above client/location paging structure but that would disturb the order of generated slides. If its one time job, I can manually rearrange slide after generation but we have 100s of reports so its not possible without some VBA programming to rearrange slides after generation.

The table option works great for a single slide or when all the multiple slides need two level paging, I have used it in many other situations.

 

Thanks,
