* The code in Solution2.h/cpp demontrates the use of C/C++ and the COM APIs 

* to automate PowerPoint. The raw automation is much more difficult, but it 

* is sometimes necessary to avoid the overhead with MFC, or problems with 

* #import. Basically, you work with such APIs as CoCreateInstance(), and COM 

* interfaces such as IDispatch and IUnknown.
