Linking Text in a Presentation

[Freightliner User]

This may seem a silly question but I have a presentation template in which
I'd like the title of the project on the opening slide to be then
automatically generated into the footer of each add'l slide.

How do I set that up?

Open the footer in View -> Header and Footer, copy the title to the footer
field and check Apply to all

For other users of the template, I'd like to set it up such that as they fill
in the field "Project Name" on the title page it automatically populates the
footer of each subsequent slide with that Project Name without any
intervention on the user's part. Kind of like a source file but in this case
I'm wanting a "source text box". Is that possible?

I guess you have to write a macro. Populating the footers on each slide is
easy I think:
With ActivePresentation.Slides.Range.HeadersFooters
With .Footer
.Text = "sTitle"
.Visible = msoTrue
End With
End With
But I am not sure how to get the string sTitle from the title on your
template as it depends how it is designed. Perhaps you employ a user form,
type the title into the form, which is then copied to the title slide and all
slide footers?
