If you are doing what I am suggesting, then I don't understand what is not
working. If you actually get the text into the text box, it will have to
print when you print the slide. Is the text showing on the screen? Note that
the naming procedures are simply to help you use the code that uses names of
slides and shapes. You actually have to run the AddNameToCertificate
procedure to add the user's name to the slide. I have cooked up a little
example for you. You can download it from:
<webdev.loyola.edu/dmarco/marcovitz/Certificate.ppt>
It is one slide, but it could have many more slides. I used an added trick
to make it so that the print button doesn't actually show up on the print
out (by hiding it before printing). I used a much more simplified PrintMe
procedure than what you have, and I used much simpler versions of
SetSlideName and SetShapeName than what are on my Web site because I was
typing it all off the top of my head and not putting fancy stuff like error
checking. Try this out and see if it does what you have in mind.

All of these options are allowing me to enter data into the text box, yet
