VBA Code: Make User Input Appear in a Document

[rookst]

Hello,

I am very new to VBA, and am trying to make a PowerPoint show that is a quiz. I have all of the programming pretty much figured out, except I want to take the viewer's name (which they enter via an Input box on the first slide) and place it on a printable certificate that can either be on another slide, or on a separate word document, or on a user form.

My question is: how do I get their name to appear on the appropriate spot on the certificate?

Any help would be appreciated

Not a powerpoint guru, but to replace a word on a word doc I use

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range(start:=0, End:=0)
With myRange.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = "name"
With .Replacement
.ClearFormatting
.Text = Data1 'this would be your data entry box
End With

.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll, _
Format:=True, MatchCase:=True, _
MatchWholeWord:=True
End With

Thanks,

I must be doing something wrong because I could not get this code to do anything?

Got it figured out:

Used the variable "yourname" from the input box to appear on a user form in a Label:

UserForm1.Label1.Caption = yourname
UserForm1.Show
