At the moment when I ask to go to a specific slide in a slideshow for some
slides, when I use the master naming convention on a slide it will give me a
name to that slide. For those slides I create as blanks it just prints Slide
Number. I would like to be able to rename these slides and give them a slide
specific name that shows me a title for that slide. How do I rename these
slides that are churrently only named with a slide number.

Thanks.

Hi John

PowerPoint gets the slide name from whatever is in the slide title
placeholder. If you don't want a title displaying on screen, either set the
text in the title placeholder to be the same colour as the background, or
drag the title off the slide (what I usually do).

To add a bit to what Lucy's explained, use the Title only master rather than
blank; type the slide name you want into the title placeholder then drag it off
the slide.
