Question How to access shapes with same name? especially Content Placeholder.

Hi,
I am Prabhakaran - a VBA Developer doing automation for more than five years in excel and Access, but very new to the powerpoint Object model. Currently doing an Automation in Powerpoint where in one slide there are two shapes having the exact samename (Content Placeholder 8). How to access them individually through code? And I have one more doubt: What is the difference between a table and a Content Placeholder? Acutally here in this presentation template I am seeing only tables named as Content Placeholder 8. Why its looking like a table but having a different name? Work at stake. Kindly help.


Regards,
Prabhakaran

I'd start by asking HOW you managed to get two placeholders with the same name. Whatever it's probably going to cause you pain.

Content Placeholders can hold TABLES but also may hold charts, images, clip art, smart art or video. Table Placeholders can hold tables (and nothing else)
