object naming addin

[Tony Rizzo]

Some time ago one very king sould in this newsgroup pointed
me to a free addin that allowed the user to name graphic objects,
much like the naming utility provided in Excel. The addin was
great.

Unfortunately, a disk crash killed it completely, and I can't
figure out how to find it again. Is that kind soul here now?

Have you any other addins that can make the use of VB
easier with PowerPoint?

You catch on fast about free things. I hope the authors of the Starter Set
also appreciate that we love it! (And I see that you have been converted to
that group too!)

It's not the free part of it that interests me. The utility was
most useful. I'd pay for it gladly, were I able to find the source.

I don't have the source for the add-in, but you can visit my web site and get some simple code for renaming objects (although I modified it some, the basic idea of the code came from someone in this group a long time ago; I assume it was either Steve or Shyam, but I don't remember). Go to:

Click on Examples by Chapter and go to Chapter 8. Look for Example 8.7.

That's the one that I was looking for. However, the add-in
manager refuses to load it. Might there be a conflict with the
other add-in package?

Tony,
1. Select Tools | Macros | Security on the security level tab, check MEDIUM.
2. Click on OK.
3. Now load the add-in as per the instructions.
4. Once the add-in has been loaded you can set the Security level back to
HIGH
