Ampler finds and replaces text throughout the presentation, so a client name, a term, or a typo is corrected everywhere in one pass.
Quick answer: Click Replace on the Ampler ribbon, enter the text to find and the text to replace it with, and click Find Next or Replace All.
How to use it
Enter the find and replace text, then replace one or all.
- Click Replace on the Ampler ribbon.
- Enter the text that should be found.
- Enter the text that should replace it.
- Click Find Next to step through, or Replace All to change every instance.
Replace All updates every occurrence across the deck in one pass.
Keyboard shortcut
Replace has no default shortcut. To assign one, open the Settings dropdown on the Ampler ribbon, choose Shortcuts, click Set shortcut on the function, and press your key combination.
Why use it
A term that has to change — a project code name, a client’s company name, a relabelled metric — usually appears on many slides, and missing one is embarrassing. Find and replace changes every instance across the whole deck at once, so the correction is complete.
How consultants use it
Terminology consistency is a quality gate, and last-minute relabelling is common — a code name swapped for the real client name before a deck goes out. A deck-wide replace makes that reliable. Three habits apply:
- Deck-wide consistency: a term is changed everywhere it appears, not slide by slide.
- Safe last-minute relabels: swap a code name for the real name in one pass before sending.
- Nothing missed: Replace All catches every instance, including the easily-overlooked ones.
Find and replace makes a terminology change complete and consistent.
Tips & best practices
- Use Find Next first to check the matches before Replace All.
- Watch for terms that are part of longer words to avoid over-replacing.
- Do a replace pass as part of the final pre-send check.
