How can I retrieve text from a table in with the JS API in PowerPoint?
The usual ways fails, as it is not a real text field.

Thank you for your answer!

    Hi @Simon Paul - Unfortunately the ability to work with tables programatically is limited at this time. We have functionality that will be released in the upcoming year that will allow for this, however it is not currently available.
