How do I mark all text boxes in PowerPoint with one command or oneclick?

[Heinz Nabielek]

How do I mark all text boxes in all slides in PowerPoint with one command?

This is necessary when

- I want all my texts with English spell checking (standard is German)

- When I have to change from a black on white text to a white on black text

It is impossible to click every single textbox for ALL slides (it works
on one slide).

I have asked this question before but had not received a workable
answer. I am hoping for something better this time.

Best greetings

The only way to change anything on more than one slide at a time is to do some
programming in VBA (within PPT) or in some other language that supports
automation.

If you have some programming experience, it's not too difficult to do what you
want. The VBA/programming section of the PPT FAQ (http://www.pptfaq.com) has
examples.
