Keyword Search Macro?!?

[Guest]

I would like to create a macro or some other kind of function that
automatically highlight keywords when I open any document in powerpoint.
Ideally I would use the same macro I have in Word, but it wont let me use it
for any document, I have to create the new macro each time I open a new
presentation.

Thanks in advance!

Hint,

Macros are document specific, Add-ins are application specific. If you want
to use it on more than one document you need to create an add-in to
PowerPoint, not a macro for the document.

An add in could for example create a new toolbar command that would search
and mark the text entered. This means as Austin said that you could use it
with any presentation. The add in contains the code required. Even so your
starting point is creating the basic code.

This may help
