    Hi benishiryo,

    Thanks for all the help your posts have given me over the years. I didn't try your code. I modified existing code that I had.

    Try the following Macro which:
    a. Opens the PowerPoint file.
    b. Puts Text in the first 2 TextBoxes of Existing Slides until data runs out.
    c. If there are not enough slides, the last slide is duplicated as required.
    d. If there are too many slides, the extras are deleted.
    e. Saves and closes the PowerPoint file.
