Thanks, Steve -

How can I up the importance of this feature? For those of us in the training
business that use PowerPoint to do training, index generation is a common
complaint.

I have an add-in that kinda works in 2007 (was built long before 2007
deployed). *IF* all of the slides you select have a title in the title
placeholder, then you can create a linked Slide Summary from my XXofYY
add-in. It is free. http://billdilworth.mvps.org/PageXXofYY.htm

By the way, I know it doesn't say it does, but it does. If you need help
with installing an add-in in PPT2007, post back, we'll help.

If you use the web interface to access this group, you can flag posts as
suggestions for Microsoft. Others can "vote" on the suggestion if they're
interested. If your contacts in the training business have support contracts with
MS, they could phone in about the issue.

See Bill's reply, but just to be clear, you mean an index and not a table of
contents, correct?

I've not used Word's indexing feature other than once years ago to play with.

As I recall, you need to create a list of words that you want indexed, then turn
the app loose on the list, it finds all instances of each word in the document and
incorporates that info into the index. Sound more or less right?

Would such a critter need to produce a simple text list in PPT:

Blatherskites[Tab][Tab]1,3,5,7,9
Farthingales[Tab][Tab]42

etc?

Would the numbers need to be live links back to the pages they reference?
