Rename Slides (post 2 of 2)

Sorry I had to start another post, but whenever I try to reply to my original post I get a runtime error. What's that all about?
Anyway, back to the original subject. I am trying to RENAME my pp slides. The replies I received to my original post gave me information on how to add TITLES to my slides, but that is NOT what I want to do. My slides are currently labeled Slide 1, Slide 2, Slide 3, etc. When viewers of pp show right click on show I want them to have a meaningful slide name to go to; not Slide 1, Side 2, Slide3, etc. because that won't mean anything to them.

Don,

I see you're all set now...as you've replied to the original posting. The
"Title - Layout. Drag off tip" worked for you.

That keeps things tidy...otherwise Echo will have words

Cheers

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the capability in its user interface to give
slides names and, instead, either determines the slide name
algorithmically, based on the contents of text placeholders on the slide
(if used), or assigns a generic name based on the slide number. However you
can give slides names programmatically (i.e. VBA).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that some kind
of feature which makes it easier to give slides names (without having to
resort to programming or an add-in), don't forget to send your feedback to
Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible. Each submission should be
a single suggestion (not a list of suggestions).

Done!

And a request for the ability to add names to shapes as well, and for
animation settings to display same instead of "Rectangle umpty-leven"
