File name footer

[Thomas]

Hi,

Powerpoint 2002's Help says that it is not possible to
automatically insert file names on the footer/header, but
at my previous job we had this feature. The powerpoint we
used was a customized one, so can they have added this
feature somehow? Anyone know if it is possible to get
some add-ins or otherwise enable such a feature in
powerpoint?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Thomas

True, this is not a feature offered by Microsoft at this time. If you think
it is something that should be included on the next version, follow this
link and request it.

In the meantime, you can use this macro to do the function:
=======================
Sub FootPath()
Dim SldNum As Integer
For SldNum = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
With ActivePresentation.Slides(SldNum).HeadersFooters
.Footer.Text = ActivePresentation.FullName
.Footer.Visible = msoTrue
End With
Next SldNum
End Sub
========================
(Watch for NG text-wrap)
