Naming and Finding Text Boxes

I would like to add a text box in VBA and then give it a unique name. Then
in the future I would like to find that text box by the unique name to modify
it - again in VBA. I was unable to AddTextBox and then name the text box.
In addition, can I reuse the same name on each slide or is the name unique to
the entire presentation.

Thanks

Example 6.5 on my site (http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/) contains a
procedure that adds a shape to the current slide. Add

myShape.name = "Shape Name"

to give that shape a name. Shape names should be unique on an individual
slides, not the entire presentation.
