Default Is it possible to "Mirror" a slide in a presentation?

Let me see if I can explain this: I have a presentation of the steps needed to login into a system. The login process is relatively complex. So I want to have a slide listing the usernames/passwords, then slides showing the steps necessary to go through the process and end up once again showing the username/password info. That's the easy part.

The tricky part is that I want to just edit the first username/password slide and have that info "mirrored" to the slide at the end of the preso. This way I only have to change one slide. I've tried hyperlink but that requires me to click the link and I don't want to do that.



So, is this possible and if so, how can I do it?

There's no built in way to do that. fairly easy if you can code though.

If you name the shapes on first and last slides to match (In my case username and password) this sort of code would work and could easily be extended to other shapes.

Code:
Sub copyText()

Dim firstsld As Slide
Dim lastsld As Slide
Set firstsld = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
Set lastsld = ActivePresentation.Slides(ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)
lastsld.Shapes("username").TextFrame.TextRange = firstsld.Shapes("username").TextFrame.TextRange
lastsld.Shapes("password").TextFrame.TextRange = firstsld.Shapes("password").TextFrame.TextRange
End Sub

Hmmm, looks very interesting and promising. I keep username/password and a couple of other fields in a table. How to I reference just the username/password columns of the table? Or do I have to name individual cells in the table?

Oh, and is there a reference doc or file you could point me to for the powerpoint code (VBA I'm assuming?)?

You cannot name table cells but you can name the table (in this eg "data")

You should be able to do something based on

Code:
Dim otbl As Table
Set otbl = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("data").Table
otbl.Cell(2, 2).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange = "John"
