Hi,

Depends on PowerPoint version. In 2003, go Edit| Office clipboard. You can
place a number of objects there simply by copying them and use it to access
them to paste them on various slides. But it is all manual.

Please tell us your PowerPoint / Windows version,
whether you are using vba, whether
your cows are in the corn paddock, or
anything else relevant.

Perhaps there is a macro available (I'm not the expert on that) - is that
what you're looking for? In the meantime, cut and paste on each slide is your
best bet.

Question, how did you get the object in the presentation in the first place?
Did you Insert it?

Thanks,

In XP onwards you can have multiple masters. Make a second (or more) master
with the object(s) on and use apply to "selected slides" to apply it to
certain slides only.

Did that answer the question / help?

Other than using multiple masters, that's the usual way of doing it. By using
the PageUp/PageDown keys and Ctrl+V to paste, you can zoom through a
presentation quite quickly.

Don't forget that you can select multiple shapes and copy/paste them at one
time.

Our ShapeStyles add-in is another approach that lets you set up a kind of
library of shapes and styles that you can choose by name and apply with a
single click.

The free demo lets you create up to 5 of these.
