HTML files do not match slide names

When I save a large PowerPoint as HTML the files created seem to have a major
mismatch between names and the original slides. For example slide00002.htm
is for slide 9 in the presentation. I want to edit some of the html, however
finding the correct file is very difficult with this mismatch. Currenlty
using PowerPoint 2000 but the same thing happens with 2003. Any Ideas?

Thanks
 
That is the Microsoft Way. I would just make your changes in PowerPoint, and
republish the presentation

When you add a new slide to a presentation, PPT gives it an internal number (the
SlideID property). This doesn't change even though you later reorder the
slides.

PPT seems to construct a list of slides in ID order and assigns them sequential
numbers for HTML output files, so the html file name/number won't match up to
the slide order unless you've created the slides sequentially and never moved
any of them around.

In short, there's probably no simple way to correlate the two.
If you're a coder, it'd be possible to do it in VBA.
