MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / January 2007Can PowerPoint 2007 generate an index?
Can PowerPoint 2007 finally generate an index, similar to Word? > Can PowerPoint 2007 finally generate an index, similar to Word? No; it doesn't seem to be an oft-requested feature. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks, Steve - How can I up the importance of this feature? For those of us in the training business that use PowerPoint to do training, index generation is a common complaint. Regards - Cliff > > Can PowerPoint 2007 finally generate an index, similar to Word? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ I have an add-in that kinda works in 2007 (was built long before 2007 deployed). *IF* all of the slides you select have a title in the title placeholder, then you can create a linked Slide Summary from my XXofYY add-in. It is free. http://billdilworth.mvps.org/PageXXofYY.htm  SignatureBill Dilworth A proud member of the Microsoft PPT MVP Team Users helping fellow users. http://billdilworth.mvps.org -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ vestprog2@ Please read the PowerPoint FAQ pages. yahoo.

If you use the web interface to access this group, you can flag posts as suggestions for Microsoft. Others can "vote" on the suggestion if they're interested. If your contacts in the training business have support contracts with MS, they could phone in about the issue. See Bill's reply, but just to be clear, you mean an index and not a table of contents, correct? I've not used Word's indexing feature other than once years ago to play with. As I recall, you need to create a list of words that you want indexed, then turn the app loose on the list, it finds all instances of each word in the document and incorporates that info into the index. Sound more or less right? Would such a critter need to produce a simple text list in PPT: Blatherskites[Tab][Tab]1,3,5,7,9 Farthingales[Tab][Tab]42 etc? Would the numbers need to be live links back to the pages they reference? > Regards - Cliff > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
