move to a slide containing a specific value in a textbox

[Julied_ng]

Hi

i need to use VBA to move to a slide containing a specific value in a
hidden text box (name txtMNum) and i'm not sure of the appropriate code
to do this.

This textbox will exist on up to 20 slides with a different value in
each and i can't think of the easiest way to "find" the slide with the
value i want in the text box.

Help.

Cheers
JulieD

Will the text box have the same name on each slide? If so, you could loop
through each slide and check the

..Shapes("KeyTextBox").TextFrame.TextRange.Text

to see if it matches. If it does, you know you've got the right slide.
