Powerpoint autocomplete text box from user form.

[dedmonds]

Hello,
I am creating a user form to automatically enter a candidates name on a certificate from the text I enter into a user form.
Here is what I have so far, can anyone tell me why it won't work?
[code]Private Sub btncreate_Click()
ActivePresentation.Slides.Shapes("Group 81") = txtname.Value
Unload Me
End Sub[\code]

thanks

Dave

Assuming that shape exists and it can contain text

[vba]ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("Group 81").TextFrame.TextRange = txtname.Value[/vba]
However from the name it's a grouped shape so you might find that the text is added to each member of the group

You might consider

[vba]ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("Group 81").GroupItems(1).TextFrame.TextRange = txtname.Value[/vba]

Many thanks for your help.
