How do I give names to textboxes or other objects so I can refer to them more
simply in macros? You can easily do this in excel by using the "Insert"
"Name -> Define".

For example:

Instead of referring to "Rectangle 4" below
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Rectangle 4").Select

I'd like to refer to "MyNameHere" as shown below
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("MyNameHere").Select
