Hi Ed,
Sorry the ability to customize placeholders is not (yet)
available. You'll have to add a text box to the slide.
HTH,

Hello,
PowerPoint does not have the capability of creating/adding custom
placeholders to the slide master and/or creating/adding customer slide
layouts which would take advantage of such custom placeholders. With
multiple master feature in PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 you can create a
variety of almost identical slide masters with different behaviors
(animations) and placement of title and object areas for AutoLayouts so
that when used in conjunction with the existing autolayouts you can get
some additional flexibility but you are still limited to the number and
type of placeholders on in the masters to those that are listed in the
"Master Layout" dialog. When that is still insufficient you can also create
slides that are laid out and formatted the way you want and then you can
use the Duplicate Slide command (or just copy/paste) to make a new copy of
the slide each time you need to create a slide that uses the same
layout/formatting.
Of course, if you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that
some kind feature for creating custom placeholders and/or slide layouts
should be a built-in feature in PowerPoint, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

Hello,
PowerPoint can create a summary slide (slide containing a list of ALL slide
titles for selected slides) but does not have the specific capability that
you are looking (table of contents) although you could probably implement
one by writing a macro or using a 3rd party add-in.
If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
have the option to include an automatically updatable table of contents, or
other types of calculated/dynamic fields such as filename/path, number of
slides, author, modified date, etc. (without having to resort to VBA or
add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to
Microsoft at:
