Hi, I know PowerPoint supports macros But is there a way I can insert data from a datasource into a placeholder or something? I've got a routine where I collect data from a database and store it in the registry. This data is then inserted into several Word templates. And this is working. But I can't find any bookmark support in PowerPoint and that's kinda how I insert data in Word templates. Can I select a certain placeholder or something in PowerPoint 2007 using macros?

A: 

Guess I'll just answer this question myself :) You can actually do this very easily in PowerPoint 2007 by using the CustomUIEditor.

Just open the template and insert this piece of code

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" 
onLoad="onLoadCode" >
</customUI>
