Customize format for Send to Word

[Rob]

I'm trying to create a training manual in the same format
as Microsoft's manuals (Slide on top 1/2 of page and Text
on lower 1/2). I can 'send to Word', no problem.

I can customize the Normal.dot word template with my own
header & footer, so I don't have to completely re-format
the whole doc every time I change the PP slideshow and re-
send to word.

Each page ends up with "Slide 1" etc, in the top left
corner, prior to the slide (eg. it's not "on" the slide),
which I'm almost sure is the 'slide title'. I'd like that
line to be the slide title I choose, but I can't find any
way to change it before exporting. I've tried deleting
the approp components from the "Master" setups, but no
luck.
Any suggestions??? thx...Rob

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for
without resorting to VBA or add-ins.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to resort to
VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

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

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
