MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2008How do i automate Contents page in PowerPoint?
Is there anyway to Automate a Contents Page in PowerPoint? eg, the poistioning of slides in a presentation may change due to slides being added, is there anyway to automate this instead of having to correct a contents page manually? Hi What version do you use? You can do this pre-2007 by going to slide sorter view and using the 'summary slide' button on the slide sorter toolbar. This feature was removed in 2007.

Hi, Im using version 2003. the steps mentioned works, but is there anyway to get the slide number to come up instead of just bullet points? > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > page > > manually? Not as far as I know - other than selecting the placeholder -> format -> bullets & numbering -> numbered -> select the style you like. The problem with that is it's not necessarily the actual slide number, just the number of the item in the list, so if you skipped any slides (e.g. the title slide) it won't be accurate. Make sense? Maybe one of the VBA-ers will know of a way to do it.....

Thanks, you've been a great help, don't think i'll chase this up further, its only a contents page after all...!!! thanks again...

Can't say I blame you :-) Lucy SignatureLucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au > Thanks, you've been a great help, don't think i'll chase this up further, > its [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >> >> > page >> >> > manually? Lucy, I have made an add-in for PowerPoint versions 2000-2007 that completely automates the creation and maintenance of summary slides. It is called PowerTOC. It is listed on the Office Marketplace and an evaluation version is available at http://www.momsoftco.com/ptoc.htm. If you have the opportunity of taking a look at this add-in, I'd appreciate your feedback very much. |
