Naming shapes in PowerPoint

All,

I'm trying to create an application that loads database-driven content into
an existing Powerpoint document using vbscript or jscript.

Is it possible to "name" a shape (e.g., a text block) in Powerpoint, so that
I can reference it later in vbscript/jscript?

I know that it's possible to use vbscript to CREATE a new shape and name it,
but I'd like to be able to use Powerpoint to build the document itself.

I'd done something like this before in Word using named bookmarks, so I
think it must be possible?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Matt Stuehler
