PowerPoint 2010 replace object question

Question

This is a simple question that I hope won't sound too stupid, but I can't seem to find a reference to my issue anywhere.  I have a slide created where I have the perfect placement, size, and animation of an object...I'd like to copy that slide and then just replace the object with another object. I need to do this on 50 pages so I thought it would be faster than pasting a new object on each page and then using animation painter.  Is there a simple way to just "replace object" while retaining all the parameters of the original?  Thanks!

Answer 1

Depends what you mean and what the object is:

You might be able to use:

Change picture (Right click menu or Picture Tools > FORMAT tab) OR

Change Shape (Drawing tools >FORMAT > Edit Shape)

Answer 2

Thanks to both of you for your input. Yes, I forgot to mention that the object I wanted to replace is a picture.  I am going to try what you suggested and see if that works for me in this situation. Thanks again!

Answer 3

Do you want to copy the slide in the same presentation or to a different presentation?

You may re-use the slides if you want to copy from a different presentation.

As John mentioned, replacing objects depends on what type of object is inserted.
