insert file pathname, author as a automatic footer in powerpoint.  This
feature is used in Word as insert Autotext
John Wilson - 05 Mar 2008 09:56 GMT
Unfortunately this is not so easy in PowerPoint

It can be done using vba code though
get the filepath from ActivePresentation.FullName
and the author from ActivePresentation.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Author")
