Title: Powerpoint 2004 Search and replace
Can anyone jump start me to simply do a text search and replace in Powerpoint. I have a standard template that we use in a hallway display running in the reception area (got a 23” Apple display on wall mount and a Mac Mini hiding in the ceiling driving it). It says what events are going on today, has pithy sayings and such. Our main display is in Keynote which I’m struggling with the XML search and replace to automate the daily display. But that is another story.
The other display is maintained by friends using PCs so I want them entering info into a Filemaker DB then a daily Applescript will pull the data out and update the text (replace “insertDate” with “Tuesday, August 9, 2005” etc.) then run the show.
All of that is easy up to the point of searching and replacing text. I’m pouring over the Powerpoint scritping resource guide now and not finding the smoking gun.
