Sub Main
    ' get the first slide
    Set oPage = ThisComponent.getDrawPages().getByIndex(0)
    ' create an OLE2Shape
    Set oOLEShape = ThisComponent.createInstance( "com.sun.star.drawing.OLE2Shape" )
 
    ' important: first add the shape
    oPage.add( oOLEShape )

    Dim oPos As New com.sun.star.awt.Point
