Slide Number VB code

[Guest]

I have a presentation with a lot of links in it. I found a way around the
limit of hyperlinks using the GoToSlide command in a VB macro. However, the
GoToSlide command needs a slide number.

Does anyone know if there is a command that I could use to find the slide
number based on the slide's title text?

Please help if you can!
Sara

Not reliably ... what if every slide in the presentation had the same title?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish, and with what information to begin
with?

Going to a slide, of course, but what slide? You know the title of the slide
but how?

Sara, have you considered using tags? You could even maintain a list
of slides and tags in an Excel table and assign them programmatically,
since I'm sure your content will change (g). Or even just check the
row number of the named range in the Excel document and pass that
variable to your routine.
