Multip;e replacements in Powerpoint slides

Question

How do I replace a single text box or shape at a specific location in multiple slides? I want to also include the font and colour used in the replacement - eg. it might be the same word or shape but in a different colour?

Answer 1

1. I searched on powerpoint vba find shape by position and replace.
2. I found this page: VBA Powerpoint - find shape and replace
3. It had this code that you can adapt to do what you need:

Sub ReplacePowerPointShape(ByVal PowerPointShapeToReplace As Object, ByVal ShapeToCopy As Object)

Dim targetSlide As Slide

Set targetSlide = PowerPointShapeToReplace.Parent

ShapeToCopy.Copy

targetSlide.Shapes.Paste

With targetSlide

With .Shapes(.Shapes.Count)

.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse

.Left = PowerPointShapeToReplace.Left

.Top = PowerPointShapeToReplace.Top

.Width = PowerPointShapeToReplace.Width

.Height = PowerPointShapeToReplace.Height

End With

End With

PowerPointShapeToReplace.Delete

End Sub

Here's a page that explains how to loop over every slide: Loop Through Each Slide In Your PowerPoint Presentation

I have searched your highlighted text and not found anything relating to the question. Am I missing something?

Answer 3

You would have to write a VBA macro to do that. Searching on powerpoint vba find shape by position and replace gets results.

Answer 4

It is not that easy to do it automatically with a simple command.

You need a good hierarchical division in Powerpoint beforehand.

You could do this with Slide Master if it was already carefully designed.

Try it! (click on header fo rmore info - video includet)

Use a slide master to add consistency to your colors, fonts, headings, logos, and other styles, and to help unify the form of your presentation. Change the Slide Master

1. Select View > Slide Master.
2. Make the text, color, and alignment changes you want.
3. Select Close Master View.
