Hi.

I would like to insert a field in a PowerPoint 2003 slide, that
contains the value of my custom property.
(Found in: File -> Properties -> Custom)

Just like in MS Word.

But I'm not able to find the functionallity in PowerPoint.

I have searched newsgroups and forums without any result.

Any experience, comment, knowledge.. Anyone ?

best regards

It's not because your search wasn't efficient; it's because PowerPoint doesn't
include this functionality.

A VBA macro could set a known text box to the value in a custom field; that may
or may not meet your needs, though.
