using IPresentation pptxDoc = Presentation.Open(inputStream);
//Find all the occurrences of a particular text in the PowerPoint presentation
ITextSelection[] textSelections = pptxDoc.FindAll("product", false, false);
foreach (ITextSelection textSelection in textSelections)
{
//Get the found text as a single text part
ITextPart textPart = textSelection.GetAsOneTextPart();
//Replace the text
textPart.Text = "Service";
}
//Save the presentation
using FileStream outputStream = new FileStream("Result.pptx", FileMode.Create);
