DeckReplace
The client renamed the product. Again. DeckReplace finds and replaces text across every slide in the deck — including in PowerPoint on the web, which has no find & replace at all.

Forty slides, one renamed product, zero find & replace
PowerPoint on the web genuinely doesn't have find & replace. And even on desktop, "find" walks you through matches one at a time with no overview of where the old name is hiding — title slides, footers, that one text box behind a chart.
DeckReplace searches the whole deck in one pass. Every match is listed with its slide number and surrounding context; click one to jump to it, or replace them all at once. Pro adds case-sensitive and whole-word modes, per-match checkboxes so you can skip slide 12, speaker notes where the API allows it, and a regex mode with preview.
Free vs Pro
Free finds everywhere and replaces everything. Pro gives you precision — modes, per-match choice, notes, regex.

FAQ
Will replacing break my formatting?
Replacing rewrites a text frame's text, so a frame with mixed per-character formatting (one bold word in a sentence, say) may come out normalized. DeckReplace detects frames like that and warns you before touching them — honesty over surprises.
Does it work in PowerPoint on the web?
Yes — that's the whole point. PowerPoint on the web has no built-in find & replace; DeckReplace gives it one. It works on desktop Windows and Mac too, where it's still faster than clicking through matches.
Can it search speaker notes?
Pro replaces in speaker notes where PowerPoint's add-in API exposes them. Where a platform doesn't, DeckReplace says "notes not supported here" instead of silently skipping them.
