Does PowerPoint have a document variables equivalent?

[spyd3r]

Word has document variables, so you can store data within the document, does
PowerPoint have any sort of equivalent? I've been looking around and haven't
found anything. Of course, there are other methods of storing data, but I'm
curious if PowerPoint has an internal way.

Thanks

Two common methods are :
- Storing values in custom document properties. This is only available at a
presentation level. Also, it is accessible in the UI via File | Properties |
Custom tab.
- Storing values in tags. This is available in presentation, slide and shape
levels. There is not UI to access tags, it can only be done programatically.

Looks like the tags are exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the help
