Default Using VBA to Find Text in a Powerpoint file

Hi,

I am working on a glossary (stored in Excel) and trying to reference
powerpoint files where the key terms are found. I'd like to do this
with a macro, but am wondering how to go about that. I found the code
for the Find function within VBA, but the way I am thinking about this
would require the find function to return a logical true or false. I am
thinking, take the key term, open the powerpoint, search for the term
and if it is found, record that chapter in my Excel workbook. Is this
possible? Also, could this be done searching through pdf files?

Thank you for the help

Chris
