Tailor generic presentations - how?

[SueT (work)]

I have a generic presentation to go to many customers. I want to personalise
each presentation by using the customer's name in a few select places. What
options are there to achieve this?

Can I use fields in PowerPoint (2003), as I can in Word (eg
DocProperty>Client)? Is there a conditional text option, as in FrameMaker? Or
do I have to resort to search and replace?

Thanks, in advance.

PPTools has a rather nice Merge feature that may be exactly what you need.
Look into:

Thanks for the replies, guys - it looks like a useful set of utilities.

Now I just have to overcome the perennial problem: persuading the CIS dept
to spend money (groan)!
