How to delete something after space "Word" in PPT

[sksanjeev786]

Hi Team,

In PPPT i want to delete OLD Player 0 entire so i was trying to do in PPT giving Space OLD * but is not working like how we use in Excel
any suggestoin on this

Not an Excel issue, but I don't think PowerPoint supports wildcard characters for Find/Replace. You could find "Old" by searching for " old " (note spaces before and aft, and be aware of the match case option).

Yes, that is why we put it in the "General Discussion & Other Applications" forum early this morning.
People can ask their non-Excel related questions there.

Thanks, I missed that detail when I navigated to the question through the "Unanswered threads" link. I appreciate the clarification.

No problem. Note that it does show the forum the thread is in underneath the title (many people miss that detail):

Thanks for the update. Np i will remove those thing manually as I have almost 50+ players at the end

Sorry to hear that. You might be able to add some future flexibility for this by effectively performing a "mail merge" from Excel to PowerPoint...example here:

The list of players is maintained somewhere (perhaps Excel) and then the Player Name field would be linked to PowerPoint. But whether this is a practical solution depends on what else might be on each slide in PowerPoint.
