Powerpoint Applescript

I’m trying to get the following from PowerPoint, the current slide # as well as the notes.

I tried the following:

return slide number of slide of view of active window

But that only works when you actually click on the current slide, if it’s running in presentation mode it says “missing value”, so that doesn’t really help. Does anyone know how to get that working whenever PowerPoint is running? Also, how can I get the notes?

Thanks
