find and replaceall macro for powerpoint

[bennyjohn5]

Help me please...

I am trying to program my first ever macro in powerpoint 2003/2007. I don't think what I want to do is complicated and could really do with a finished bit of working code to paste into visual basic. I am a novice and the help pages and many hours of scouring the internet has come to no answer.

I want the macro to find the text "qu1" which is featured 17 times in the presentation and replace it with text entered from a dialogue box. The macro will need to do a bit more than this eventually but I should be able to figure out how to do the rest.

Cheers for any help,

John

PP's object model doesn't expose it's built-in dialog boxes the way Excel and Word do. The best you can do usually is to use SendKeys to invoke the dialog in the open window. So this might be a more flexible way to do what you want

Sub MyReplace()
Call SendKeys("^h")

Hi
Does the attached help? Text entered at runtime is stored in a textbox on the slide and a command button then runs a macro to replace qu1 with this text!
