Hi all

thanks a lot for the reply. 
sad part is none of the links solve my problem.
bcoz all of them generate wmf/vector graphic/whatever format none of them can be
opened in ppt. And make it editable.
 

EMF is the standard exchange format for vector graphics on Windows, and 
the results should be editable. I don't have MS Office myself, so I 
can't test it right now. PowerPoint should definitely be able to open 
the graphic, if you want a conversion into a full ppt file you probably 
can't avoid some scripting in the Windows world. But you should be able 
to call Java programs from there, so it won't be nice but should work.

Considering the limitations of PowerPoint EMF is probably the only 
import format that has a chance of being editable. You might want to 
consider getting an SVG editor instead and just use OLE from PowerPoint 
if your situation allows that. I suspect that some of the commercial SVG 
editors on Windows might support that.

correct me if i'm wrong.

These guys have an EMF export that works reasonably ok -- and I think 
you can't expect more for the EMF format (which is what the WMFs noadays 
usually are, since the original WMF is to bad to be used -- it's just 
that noone follows the spec for the extension):

 http://java.freehep.org/index.html

For full automation you'd probably need a combination of VB scripting in 
PowerPoint with a little Java code based on the transcoder examples and 
the EMFGraphics2D from the FreeHEP project.

There is an opensource proyect i have been using a bit, for handling 
WMF's, if it helps:

http://javametafile.sourceforge.net/

Hope this helps,
     

  This is a reader not a writer.  If you didn't already know
Batik also has a WMF reader.  What he is looking for is
a writer like the SVGGraphics2D (you draw things to a Graphics2D
and it generates WMF 'entries').

Yeah, i know it's very lossy... and no idea at all how to insert 
into PPT,
If not from SVG is there a way can it be done from XML to PowerPoint?
At present i'm using batik to convert xml to svg and svg to jpg.
         

Hmm Google search turned up:

http://piet.jonas.com/WMFWriter/WMFWriter.html
  It is not OpenSource.

Is there a way to convert SVG to powerPoint slides??
I'm developing an application which displays Organization chart 
and have a button called "Export".
On click of this i have to open organization chart in powerPoint. 
And i should be able to edit the info.
hope i'm expressing what i have to do.
           

  Well it sounds like you want a WMFGraphics2D (an implementation of
Graphics2D that outputs WMF files).  AFAIK such a thing
doesn't exist, but I haven't really checked.  It's also worth
pointing out that this conversion will be _very_ lossy (filters,
complex fills, etc).
  Also it isn't clear how you would insert your file into PowerPoint
from a Java Application.
