Hi all,

I want to highlight the found words in PowerPoint by using VB. Could anybody give me some ideas or examples?

Thanks in advance,
Haiying

What do you mean by "the found words?"

For example, I want to find all the words "test" in the ppt file, after finding them, all the "test" should be highlighted in this file.

Thanks,
Haiying

What sort of mechanism would you be using to find the word "test" in your ppt? Is that an input box, or the Find feature? And where would you invke it? At design time or run time?

I use an input box to input the words which will be searched in a ppt file. when I click the START button. The ppt file should be open and the search results should be highlight automatically. Now I only can change the font color of the search results. I do not know if it is possible to highlight the search results in ppt file.

Many thanks,
Haiying

In your code to change the font color, you are probbly using ForeColor. Try using BackColor to highlight.

I used .Font.Color, I can not find BackColor property in vb for ppt. Could you please give more details?
