MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2008different text place holders
Hi everybody, IS there any difference between textplaceholder,title placeholder and textbox when we use VBA if yes what are the keywords for each of them in VBA? ( how do I refer to a text box vs. a title placeholder)  SignatureBest regards, Edward > Hi everybody, > IS there any difference between textplaceholder,title placeholder and > textbox when we use VBA if yes what are the keywords for each of them in VBA? > ( how do I refer to a text box vs. a title placeholder) There are some differences, yes, but at the same time, each is a shape with a text range and so on, so depending on what you're trying to do, you might be able to treat them identically. What exactly do you need to accomplish? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Live and in personable in the Help Center at PowerPoint Live Sept 21-24, San Diego CA, USA www.pptlive.com Thanks Steve. For example I want to make a TOC table based on Title placeholders so I need a way to distinguish between titleplaceholder and other type of text holders , or I want to have a macro to apply a certain font style to all the textes in text placeholders ( not titles ) and so on... basically when I loop through all the shapes I need to tell which shape os title or text or textbox . Thanks for your help again.
