Indexing PowerPoint Pages

[Guest]

I have a slide PPT slide show with references to other slides in the same
presentation. How can I reference the page number of a particular slide?
Assuming that I would add a new slide in-between the other slides would this
index to the particular slide be automatically update.
Is this even possible?
Thank You and Regards Charles

If you mean a visual index, where you have something like

Slide title ... Page 42

No. Not directly, though if you or somebody you know is skillful at VBA, you
could generate the text and slide numbers for the index fairly easily. It
wouldn't automatically update but could be recreated in a few seconds.

A few mods to this and you'd have something workable:

Export Slide Number and Title Text to a text file

But what's the purpose of the index? If for a printed document, then a visual
index is what you need. If for an interactive show, why not make each index
entry a link to the slide in the presentation and forget about the slide
numbers. Click the link, you're there.
