Database in powerpoint?

rich2764

Does anyone know if this is possible? I have created a presentation with
questions and answers. Is there a way of running a database or getting data
from an excel spreadsheet so that I don't need to keep highlighting the
relevant text and then do ctrl-c ctrl-h and ctrl-v for each question to be
changed etc? At the moment I keep having to change the text and then save as
but it is so long winded.

You might look into PPTMerge.

I can't remember whether PPTMerge can do this. If it doesn't do what you need
drop us a line we have an in house Add In that we use for quizes that may
help you.

PPTMerge is a great program anyway and well worth having!

Hi John,

Could I possibly try your add in? It sounds like it will do the trick.
Does it come with a help file?
