Hello,
I think I am going to go insane.LOL I am in the US Army and have
just finished a training class of 200 personnel and I have to print a
certificate for each of them. Is there a way to have powerpoint auto print a
certificate for each person or do I have to manuall type each persons name in
the text box? I have the certificate in powerpoint and the database with all
the names and in Excel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Eric

There is probably a much simpler way but I would do it like this:
1. Get those names into Word in Heading Style 1 (mail merge from Excel) and
save & close the file
2. In PowerPoint set up the slide title placeholder to be where & formated
how you want the name to appear
3. In PowerPoint Insert->Slides from Outline->navigate to your document &
click Insert
4. Voila!

If you need any more info on the above steps post back (& let me know what
version of Office you're using)

Ooops! Point 2 should be done on the slide master, not just a slide btw. In
fact all graphics & text should be on the master (View->Master->slide master)

I'd stop using PowerPoint before it's too late, then.
Most of us are beyond hope here. said:

As Bill's suggested, our PPT Merge add-in would do the job nicely. This is
exactly what it was originally written to do, though it's been expanded a lot
since then.
