Update bulleted text with a variable
Let's say that I have 3 intended audiences: Water drinkers, Beer drinkers and Milk drinkers. I would like to have a text box control where I can enter in the work Milk and then have that word updated in the bulleted items of the show such as this
You get the idea. I want the bulleted items to act as if the word Milk (or whatever word or phrase I supply) were always typed in as one would regularly do with a presentation.
Is such a thing possible
Milk drinkers are the smartest people
Other drinkers are envious of Milk drinkers
All the cool people drink Milk

Figured it out myself! I can now use VBA to go to a specific line in a specific textbox on a specific slide and change that text to what I want. Will post the code when I clean it up.
Surely that would mean writing different code for each textbox though plus you will never be able to alter the presentation? Lets's hope there aren't too many things to change!
Maybe the code in this will help too.

I asked for an answer first hoping it would come quickly, when it didn't, I continued to research until I found the answer suitable to the task. I took a little code from here and some from there until I could work out my own solution... sort of a teach a man to fish kind of scenario
Fairly easy to code but there would have to be some way of finding the insertion points or word to replace.
One way would be to store the last replace word in a tag. How good is your coding?
