Any XML to PPT converter?

Is there a better way to automate the creation of thousands of PowerPoint slides using JPG files and an XML file that contains title/note of the slides? Only half of the record in the XML file have unified format that I can create a template to extract data but I still have to deal with the other half... Any suggestions or solutions? Thanks.

You might be able to download a trial of some software such as:

Hope someone comes up with a solution for you!

Do you want all the pics in one ppt file? That's a lot of picture in one file, and powerpoint won't work so well. Or a seperate ppt file for every jpg file?

Either way, you could write a macro, as long as there was some format in the XML file that could be used to get the info you needed. Post a sample of the XML if you'd like to go this way and want help.

Thank you for responding my question. In addition to stylusstudio product, I am also evaluating Aspose PowerPoint, any one has experience/comment about these products?

To answer Adam314's qestion, I do need to create individual ppt file for all 2600+ jpg image. The most common format is as follow,

<fig><figtitle>The process...</figtitle>
<fn>4</fn>
<legend>
<p><b>Figure 1-4.</b> The process...</p>
</legend>
<graphic id="A2-01-004a">A2-01-004a</graphic>
<graphic id="A2-01-004b">A2-01-004b</graphic>
<graphic id="A2-01-004c">A2-01-004c</graphic>
</fig>

could you be so kind and share your approach please, thanks.
