Sorting PPT slides with keywords

[SunkenAnchor]

I have an unusual request from a client. They have a PPT with ~200 slides,
and want to be able to display various subsets of that main presentation by
having the presenter enter keywords and then the PPT would retrieve the
slides that correspond to the keyword(S) and then they run the PPT.

Does this sound like something that can be done in VB? Or is my client
grasping at straws?

I think it's possible.

Individual slides can have what are called Tags (think of them as individual,
invisible sticky notes). There can be multiple tags per slide.

Assuming for the moment that some slides are tagged with "Freebits" and others
with "Zomberbombs", a bit of VBA could find all the Freebits slides, make them
visible and make all other slides hidden.

Sorting them into a special order would be another story.

Thanks, Steve... anyplace to point me to where I can learn how to "tag" a
slide?

No need to sort in special order, but yes, a bit of VBA will be needed.
