Custom Place Holders

[A Smyers]

I need to create my own custom place holders in PPT for students to be able
to click and fill in information. I have created a custom template for
Kindergarten students. I am trying to prevent them from having to click,
highlight and type their name. I want the box to say, "click here to add
your name" Then, when they click on it, they type their name and the
directions disappear. Can this be done?

I would also like to be able to edit the place holder text that MS has .
For example, on a title slide where it says, "Click to add title" I would
like to be able to change the directions. Can that be done?

Hopefully Bill and Glen got you covered in the previous thread.

Yes, I'm working on trying to understand the VBA stuff. I may have to take
Bill up on his offer and repost for more help.

I apologize for having the dbl posting. I just stumbled upon this newsgroup
and got configured to be able to use it. Apparently when I sent it the
first time and it told me it didn't go, it really did and I didn't know it
until several hours later when I had already posted the other.

Sorry guys!

No problem, it happens. Looks like we got triplets on this one, in fact.
