Remarks
Because it takes a Variant, the FindByName method makes it possible to locate a member of the Placeholders collection by specifying either the index number (an Integer or Long) or the name (a String) of an individual placeholder. Unlike the corresponding methods of other collections, such as Shapes or Slides, the Item method of the Placeholders collection takes only a Long.
Example
The following example shows how to use the FindByName method to select the title placeholder in slide one in the active presentation.
Public Sub FindByName_Example()
PowerPoint.ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.Placeholders.FindByName("Title 1").Select
End Sub
