Help!!! Using WildCards for Find and Replace

V

vvskpk

Hi there,

I am using PPT 2007. I am want to use WildCards function for finding and
replacing a string.

My problem is, many ppt decks I will get will have phone numbers as
(xxx)-xxx-xxxx.

I want to replace all those formats to +1 xxx xxx xxxx. (adding +1, removing
brackets for first three digits, and replacing hyphens with spaces)

In Word, we have an option of using Wild Cards while using Find and Replace
option. But in PPT, I am unable to do the same function. I need search where
it is used and to manually replace each.

This is the command I use in Word:
Find What : \(([0-9]{3})\)-([0-9]{3})-([0-9]{4})
Replace With: +1 \1 \2 \3

How can I give this in PPT 2007? Or Any vbcode/Macro so that I can use it?

Thanks in Advance!
