PowerPoint 2000 document properties on Cover Page

[eman6]

I have a PowerPoint template with text boxes on the cover page including Author, Language, Date Created, etc which are basically document properties.
We want to have document properties populated and the cover page reflecting that.
Is there a good way to automatize this?

It's amazing how the teams working on PPT and Excel did not bother to be consistent with Word, which I consider the most complete in this respect.

Have a look to the BuiltInDocumentProperties and CustomDocumentProperties collections of the Presentation object.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Yes, but how to put them on the cover page? Where?
In Excel, you can address to cells, in Word you can address to bookmarks, cells in a table, etc etc.

Even when I created some text boxes using Control ToolBox, there is no design time and run time modes like in Word or Excel.
Looks like tis work is left half way in PowerPoint.
