Finding a word within a macro

[Guest]

Is there a way to search all powerpoint files looking for a particular word
contained in a macro. So, if a colleague wrote a macro for a power point
file, and left but there are many, many power point files, how would I be
able to search through all of the files and locate the macro I need (I do
have a few key words contained in the macro).

Good Evening,

This is a bit more complicated than it sounds. There are three major
components, the batch process, the access, and the code itself.


Read up on batch processing here,
Batch: Do something to every file in a folder

You will need to allow code to have access to your VBA project in the
Security options.

And you will need to write code to paw thru the code looking for the key
words you designate.

This is really not a beginner's project. Do you know VBA coding?
If you are not familiar with coding in VBA, you will be better off using the
services of a professional coder.
