Default Find and Replace Text in embedded PowerPoint Object

Hi all,

Following problem: we habe several big word documents. They all have
quite many PowerPoint slides embedded (insert - object - insert the
slide). Now we need to do changes. Within the text of the worddocument
that's easy: find x and replaca by y, standard procedure. However this
does not affect the PowerPoint objects.

Does anybody know an existing workaround? (a tool, add-in, program)

I want to be able to make a "find x, replacy by y" in Word, which also
replaces all "x" within the powerpoint objects to "y"s.

Thank
Matt

Not possible in Word - the Powerpoint objects do not form part of the text
of the document. Essentially they are graphics.
