Creating multiple slides whose titles are the topics of an existing slide

[Bill Price]

I was looking for an operation that is the reverse of
creating a summary slide. Given a slide (like a summary
slide), I'd like to create multiple slides whose titles
are the topics of the summary slide. I used to be able to
do this in earlier Powerpoint, but can't find the feature
now. TIA

What you are probably remembering is that you can create an outline in Word and
then open it in PowerPoint and you will get new slides for each level 1
paragraph in the outline. That still works.

Expand slides is the feature that you are looking for. Unfortunately, the
feature was taken away a couple of versions ago. Check out this entry from
Steve Rindsberg's PPT FAQ for a couple of alternative ways to bring it back:

You're remembering the Tools, Expand Slide command that was in PPT97, I expect.
Pay no attention to the lady behind the red curtain and her words of Word. ;-)

Have a look here for a couple of workarounds:
