Step 1. Effect Text Box Paragraph in Java PowerPoint

Begin by initializing your project and loading a PowerPoint presentation file (Test.pptx) from a specified directory:

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
Presentation pres = new Presentation(dataDir + "Test.pptx");

Step 2. Accessing Main Sequence and AutoShape

Access the main sequence and specific auto shape within the first slide of the presentation:

try {
    ISequence sequence = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getTimeline().getMainSequence();
    IAutoShape autoShape = (IAutoShape) pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().get_Item(1);

Step 3. Retrieving Paragraphs and Effects

Iterate through paragraphs within the auto shape’s text frame and retrieve associated effects:

    for (IParagraph paragraph : autoShape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs()) {
        IEffect[] effects = sequence.getEffectsByParagraph(paragraph);
        if (effects.length > 0)
            System.out.println("Paragraph \"" + paragraph.getText() + "\" has " + effects[0].getType() + " effect.");
    }
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}
