Hi PPT Community,

I am an experienced PPT user with the exception that I am not too familiar
with VB. What I would like to do is have each slide look up information from
a file. More specifically, I have one text file that has one word on each
line. I want to generate a presentation that will open this text file and,
say, for the first slide take the first word and use that word as the title.
Similarly, slide number two will look at the text file for the SECOND word
(word from the second line) and use that as the title and so on. Can anybody
conceive of a way of accomplishing this?

Thank you for your time.
 
PowerPoint already handles this. Try opening your text file in PowerPoint.
PowerPoint will make slide titles for each line that starts in column 1. It
will also make first-level bullets for each line that starts with 1 tab,
second level bullets for each line that starts with 2 tabs and so on.
