First of all, thank you #Tanaike for the answer.
First goal: I have a Google Forms, and I want to program an automatic report on Google Slides.
Then for each question (text format) on Form, I want put this response that will be on Form's spreadsheet in a label text at Google Slides.
It would be a text label for each page on Slides. I have 4 questions on Forms, then the slide should have 4 pages, each page with the answer of each question.
I thougth it was possible just with built-in functions of Spreadsheet. That leads me to second goal:
Create a script on spreadsheet with trigger start "on save".
This script will take each cell's content and will put on each Google Slides' label text.
Any help will be apreciated!

I have this Powerpoint file. Here the link:

I have turned a MS Word file into Powerpoint file using the instruction in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oao6EzF08U
after conversion
I want to unhighlight the text, then add a new text box (Red shape fill and Send behind text) with ANIMATION effect, put it in the position of the unhighlighted text like in the pictures.
unhighlight text
add new text box with animation effect
Therefore, I can show the correct answer to my students when teaching using PPT.
I have about 100 slides like this but I don't have enough time to do it all manually.
Unfortunately, MS Powerpoint doesn't have Macro Recorder like in MS Word and I also don't know much about VBA code.
Is there any way to use VBA code to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I want to know if there is a way to link text boxes in PowerPoint in a similar fashion as Excel so that when I update one text box (for instance, changing the title of the presentation), the other linked text boxes will update by themselves. The purpose is to avoid having to go through the whole presentation to change manually every relevant slides. I don't think there is a build in function but I am fairly new to VBA in PowerPoint (have some experience with Excel already). Any input is very much appreciated, thank you!
I have an existing PDF template, and I want to add some text over the top of it in a specific location on a specific page. For example, an invoice template or a scanned document.
How would I go about this? I'm using Sheets if that narrows my options.
There is a lot of documentation on how to create PDFs from documents, but nothing that will take a particular PDF and put text over it.
A bit of blue sky thinking from my side. What if you were to do the following?
Manually:
Export the PDF as an image
Resize a Google slide to be the same shape as the image
Add the image to the google slide as a background image
In Code:
Make a copy of the google slide as needed
Add your Google sheets data to the slide positioned as needed on the slide
Export the Google slide as a pdf
I mention google slides, because Google docs to not have allow background images.
Another possibility with using Google docs is to build a document that looks like your invoice, then add to it tags. In your code search for the tags and replace them with data from your sheet. Even you could use a mail merge addon to do this if you didn't fancy writing any code.
In your Google Drive right-click on your PDF;
Open With > Connect More Apps > Search docusign > Left-click blue connect button and this should take you to Docusign.
Your PDF will then open with Docusign where you can manually add a signature or text to specific places.
Alternatively... You can use App Script.
Example,
Constructing a document using HTML and replacing the specific value with a variable which is collect from a Sheet or particular location. Writing the function to do this will allow you to interpret the HTML and replace the variable with the text or possibly an image. Then it would create this as a PDF.
There are many alternative ways to do this.
Here is one example on github;

I have been tasked with updating a spreadsheet that produces a report by replacing text in a template. Previously, the worksheet referenced an outside/separate file-- my job is to get it working in an embedded document.
I currently have text form fields for every input I want to insert within the embedded document template. As it stands, users can edit the document template however they like, but if they accidentally erase a text form field (again, where text is replaced via the vba macro) then it will break the macro and the spreadsheet will be useless.
My question:
Is there some way to lock or protect text form fields such that the rest of the document is editable? I essentially want to have the inverse of a "text form field only" protection.
Alternatively, is there a better way to approach this project? I'm thinking of leaving the spreadsheet as is, but including a "reset" button bringing the template back to it's original state if anything breaks. If I did this method, this would require there NOT to be an external file. Attempts to do this so far have proven unsuccessful.
My general methodology/algorithm goes as follows:
Open the reference document
Replace all the text form fields via bookmarks with plain text,
making sure to reassign the bookmarks afterward (so as to not lose
them if they run the macro more than once).
Save the embedded document as a .doc with the inputs inserted
Replace all bookmarked inputs with text form fields to return the
template to its original state
Any information would be IMMENSELY appreciated. I am slowly running out of time and am feeling stuck.
Many thanks!

In powerpoint 2010 I want to save an inserted textbox as a picture, which is simply done by right-clicking on the text box and save it. The saved image will however include a large amount of transparancy around the text. I am wondering whether this abundance of transparency around the text can be reduced, whithout using photo-editing programs.
I understand that powerpoint is not the right tool to use the beautifuly created texts for other purposes aside from office itself, however this would make things ten times easier for some coworkers of mine.
I hope someone can help me with this, also if it means using VBA or other (complex) codes/languages.
Thnx for your time.
Mike
Once you have typed your text in the textbox,
Copy the text box, right-click and paste as image
Now you have the image of the text box as you will get while saving that textbox as image - - using the save_as_image option
Select this image and click on format tab
You have an option to crop your image
Crop the image and save it as a picture
