lets say I have two text boxes in powerpoint 2007 - I want to type in one and have that text duplicated in the second one as I type. How would one accomplish such a feat?

not sure. you could have both slaved to a cell in excel, so it'd show up what you type once you press enter, but that's neither the answer nor the program

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this?

Making name tents. when I type in the top text box, I want it to duplicate that in the bottom text box (Upside down)

if you select the text box, it shows the cell it points to in the formula bar. So you can have the name list on on page and all the printing stuff on the next sheet. I just left them together to make it easier to see it work.

Hell, you cloud probably do this just by formatting excel cells to be huge, heavy outline and every other one with rotated text. That'd be even easier to mass produce.
