I hope you managed to find something about your issue.

A bit late, but for future people who might come here.

This is for the HTML -> PPT part.

PowerPoint.Presentation presentation;
presentation = ppApp.Presentations.Open(configuration.PPTTExportedFile, MsoTriState.msoFalse, MsoTriState.msoTrue, MsoTriState.msoTrue);       
foreach (PowerPoint.Slide slide in presentation.Slides)
{
    foreach (PowerPoint.Shape shape in slide.Shapes)
    {
        File.WriteAllText(temporaryFilePath, html);
        WebsiteToImage websiteToImage = new WebsiteToImage(temporaryFilePath, @"New picture path");
        websiteToImage.Generate();
        slide.Shapes.AddPicture(@"picture path", MsoTriState.msoTrue, MsoTriState.msoTrue, oldshapeleft, oldshapetop, oldshapewidth, oldshapeheight);
        fileToDelete.Add(temporaryFilePath);
        fileToDelete.Add(@""dont forget to remove tmp files");
    }
}

Convert webpage to image from ASP.NET

If you want to do any object manipulation in Word/Excel/PowerPoint, I suggest to work with

Console.Write("AlternativeText: ");
Console.WriteLine(shape.AlternativeText);

Because if you save in your original file an AlternativeText in your object, you can access it fast and you can even change the PATH into a simple variable.

And if you want for example to export a HTML table, do an image from it and change the AlternativeText in order to access it easier later, while giving it an appropriate name that you can access with a 3rd software tool, because PowerPoint doesn't support HTML Tags

Next to do:

File.Copy(WordTemplateFile, WordExportedFile, true);

Why you want to change the original? Just make a copy, and keep it as a template which you can change at any moment while creating a new changed version from it.( good for reports )

AlternativeText is very useful if you plan to work with.

For your replacement, you might want to use NetOffice/Microsoft Office libraries.

foreach (NetOffice.WordApi.InlineShape s in docWord.InlineShapes)
{
    if (s.Type==NetOffice.WordApi.Enums.WdInlineShapeType.wdInlineShapePicture &&  s.AlternativeText.Contains("any pattern you are looking for"))
    {
        
        s.Range.InsertFile();
    }
 }

You loop through all your file and check if something fits your pattern.

Good luck.
