You can copy/paste your slide to Word to use as the background for the
certificates, then add merge fields in Word and print from there.

CorelDraw also does merge printing; you could use the graphic from PPT in a
Draw file and merge into that much the same as you would in Word.

Or there are commercial add-ins that let you do the merge directly from within
PowerPoint. We have one (with a free fully functioning demo) here:
