Search for certain text in all the Slides:

To find out all the slides those have a certain word on them.
1. Open your presentation in powerpoint
2. Click the "View" menu
3. Select "Slide Sorter"
4. PowerPoint will then display a miniature view of all your slides in your presentation. You may like to choose a smaller viewing size to display all your slides. This is done by clicking the "edit" menu, select "zoom" or by clicking the "zoom" button Then enter a really small number, like 25
5. Click the "Edit" menu
6. Select "Find"
7. In the new window that pops up, enter the word you would like to find. e.g.. "presentation"
8. Then click "Find All", use the "match case" and "find whole words only" as appropriate
9. PowerPoint will then highlight, with a black border, around all the slides that have the word "presentation" on them. So you can see at a glance how many slides have that word on them. You can also search for multiple words e.g.. "sample presentations".
