add textdisplay to slide

[David McFarlane]

Hmm, it just occurs to me, why not just add new text to existing 
SlideText sub-objects instead of adding entirely new SlideText 
sub-objects at run time?  Start by adding SlideText objects as 
placeholders into your Slide, and into each one put an attribute 
reference, e.g., [Text1], [Text2], ...  Define those attributes 
before running your Slide, with empty text if you do not want any 
text.  Then just assign new values to the attributes as needed, and 
rerun or redraw the Slide to have the new text appear.
