Is it possible to change a text item on a slide to a new piece of text read
in from a text file? I would like to be able to dynamically change text on a
powerpoint slide whilst in slideshow mode.

Thanks for any help

Yes, but after changing the text you'll need to force the slide to refresh
somehow.
Typically:

' assuming a reference to the current slide in oSl:
ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide(oSl.SlideIndex)

Read in text from an ascii file
