Probably a very stupid question but I can't figure how to rename an object in PowerPoint.. For example, all my Graphs are called by default "Graph 1" etc. Could someone help me on that? Thanks!

In PowerPoint 2007 you can do this from the Selection pane.

To show the Selection pane, click on the Home tab in the ribbon, then click on Arrange and then 'Selection Pane...' at the bottom. The Selection pane will open on the right. (Or press CTRL+F10)

To rename an object, first select the object and then double click on the object name in the Selection pane and you will be able to type the new object name.
