Is there a way to get the width and height of powerpoint slide without active document?

I'm writing some code for automatically publishing PowerPoint slides.

I'v already found that ActiveDocument in PowerPoint application object allow me to know width and height of slides.

However, When I start the application with MsoTriStat.msoFalse flag, PowerPoint doesn't appear to me of course and I can't figure out width and height of slide because Application doesn't have any ActiveWindow.

So, is there another way to get width and height of slide?

UPDATE
Here is my test code

Application app = new Application();
Presentation presentation = app.Presentations.Add(MsoTriState.msoFalse);
Slide slide = presentation.Slides.Add(1, PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutTitleOnly);

Console.WriteLine("Shapes in slide: {0}", slide.Shapes.Count);
Console.WriteLine("slide name: {0}", slide.Name);

Console.WriteLine(app.ActivePresentation.Name);

app.ActiveWindow.Width = 1024;
app.ActiveWindow.Width = 768;
app.ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100;

presentation.SaveAs(@"C:\Temp\ppt1.pptx");

Try using presentation.PageSetup.SlideHeight and presentation.PageSetup.SlideWidth

When you open a presentation it becomes the active presentation. The ActivePresentation object will give you access to the properties you need.
