Create pptx file with merged blocks

Hello everyone :)
i can not explain what is causing my problem.
I use the OpenTBS Plugin und want to fill a pptx file.
I have already working examples but when i want to create a new pptx template some variables like [Firma.Name] (its german)
will not be substituted by the Plugin. When I have two such templates, the variable will be substituted and not in the other template.
Just when i copy a workling slide and do not touch each variable, it works.
Is there any structure one need to have in those pptx templates?
The strange thing is that when i have a working template and just add a blank after a variable like after [Firma.Name], it does not work anymore and causing errors like no substitution or
that the variable is neither be found.
I hope you can help me :)

Best Regards
Jenni

After a long search i found out that when for example the variable [Firma.Name] occurs in my template, the Plugin reads [ Firma.Name] and therefore cant recognize the data.
But i dont know what is causing this blank in the template.

Hi,

Could you send to me such a template, so I could test this case?

Hello,

Thanks for your template.

I had a look and the problem is unfortunately the classical problem: they are splits in the inner XML. It is not visible but the first character « [ » is considered as French language, and the end « Firma.Name] » is considered as Deutsch.
The solution is to cut the tag, and then use the past without formatting button in order to have it without split.

Hei thanks for your fast reply :)
How can i use the past without formatting button? Is there a disable-button?

Thanks :)

Here you are, it is the same in Ms Word and Ms Powerpoint:

So what do you mean with "cut the tag" ? When i have for example [Firma.Name] i should just delete the "[" and "]" and i use the last "]" without formatting ?
When i just delete everything and paste it without formatting , it works fine.
But the question is how can i change a fully formatted pptx file ( with underlining and formatted fonts) to get recognized by the tool without loosing the original format. :)

Select "[Firma.Name]", then function cut (ctrl-alt-x for exemple, or using menus), then function paste.

> When i just delete everything and paste it without formatting , it works fine.
That's it. But you need to delete with cut in order to paste.

I don't know yet. I've already done a plug-in for Ms Word that can clean tags, but it is more difficult for Powerpoint.
