    Is there a way that I can insert custom properties into text boxes? I keep searching and ‘thinking’ there must be a way!

      Unlike Word, PowerPoint does not have fields, and neither does it have macros that are executed automatically when a presentation is opened (you’d need an add-in for that). You could put a command button on the first slide that inserts a custom document property into a text box and proceeds to the next slide:

      Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
      ActivePresentation.Slides(3).Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = _
      ActivePresentation.CustomDocumentProperties(“MyProperty”)
      ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=2
      End Sub

      See attached example (make sure macro security is not set to High).
