Change text in all slides at once

[labooth]

how do I change all the text in all the slides at one time? Instead of
having to go to all 135 slides in my presentation, I would prefer to do this
at once? Any clues?
thanks.

What is it about the text you want to change?

Some things are easy, by just adjusting the master slide or using a font
replacement. Changing a single word to another is simple also, but changing
the font colors or indentation is a bit trickier. Some repetitive tasks can
be automated with a simple macro, while other changes may need to be done by
hand.

Give us a clear picture of what you need to change in the 135 slides and
we'll usually give you back a clear solution or an explanation as to why it
can not be easily done.

It depends. What do you want to change - the formatting or the text itself?
What version of PPT are you using? If your text is in placeholders, you can
change the formatting on the master slides and it should show on the
individual slides. If you want to change from one font to another, you can
use Format--> Replace fonts. If you want to make global changes to the text
itself, you may be able to use search and replace to do that.

Remember that we can't see what you see so you will need to describe what
you need in order for us to help.
