I have a 200+ page file using PP 2003. (It may have been originally created
in an earlier version of PP.)
Throughout the presentation there are text-only references to other page
numbers in the presentation. Add or subtract one page to the presentation,
and all those references are wrong. I know in Word I can insert that text as
a cross-reference that will automatically update as the pages change. Is
there anything like that in PowerPoint?

If the answer has to do with VBA, I should add that I am not at all skilled
there. But I'm willing to learn.
If there is a plug-in, I will need to make a case for it to tech support
because I do not have admin rights to my PC.

Not sure that this is quite what you need but there's a tutorial on adjusting
slide numbers in links with vba here:
