Macro to Update a Placeholder in PowerPoint

I want to have a Macro that will update a Text Box or Place Holder in my PowerPoint across Multiple Slides.

Basically I have a PowerPoint Presentation and have to manually change the Name of the Client on each slide where the Text Box is. I would like to have an Input Box pop up when I open the file and I would then just type in the Client Name and it would dynamical find all the "Client Name" Text Boxes/Placeholders and replace the contents of the Text Box/Placeholder with what ever I type in the Input Box.

I've named the Text Box the same thing "Client Name" to help with getting this done.

I have attached a sample Presentation with slides and notes on what I would like the Macro to do.

You don't really need code to do this just the built in REPLACE command.

Rgonzo1971 - I used the code and the Input box works, but it doesn't update the "Client Name" box.

Hi,

Replace Client Name with [CLIENT NAME]
