Transporting text

[daveschultz74]

I want to have it where I have the user enter their name in a text box on one slide and then have that text appear again in a later slide.


This deck is a scored test. They start the test by entering their name. The final slide contains their score and I want their name to reappear on this slide.

You would have to use code to keep score so I would post the code you have already and if possible the presentation with the textbox where the name is entered.

Keeping score is not the issue. I have that down

I just want then to enter their name on slide 1 and have what they entered come back on slide 10

I understand that but If we see how you handled the score we will be able to judge your skill level and come up with a suitable answer.

"Come back on slide 10 tells me nothing. Best bet is post the slides somewhere.

If you do know what you are doing and the Textbox they enter the name into is called TextBox1 on slide 1

You can read it's current value with:

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("TextBox1").OLEFormat.Object.Text

You could also right click the textbox >> View code and set a module wide variable strName to the content each time they change

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
strName = Me.TextBox1.Text
End Sub
