Office Connector - PowerPoint Issues

Hello,

I am currently working on setting up a template for ARAS Office Connector for Microsoft PowerPoint. By writing a custom VBA script I am able to get the Custom Properties to display on a slide, but the issue I am having is how to have the field/text update when the Custom Property is changed?

Has anyone else created a solution for a PowerPoint template that can solve this or approached this in a different way to solve setting up a PowerPoint template?

    I use two schemes:

    1) Use the name of the object in the PowerPoint slide (usually generated by the system, such as the name of the text box object, which you can modify) to record the bound field name, and then use code to fill or update this value

    2) Use the field name bound to the object's web link record, and then use code to populate or update this value
