I have a projector that will display pictures from a flash drive as a
slideshow. I would like to save powerpoint slides as .jpg files to
take advantage of this.

The naming scheme that powerpoint uses is Slide1.jpg, Slide2.jpg,
Slide3.jpg......Slide10.jpg, Slide11.jpg, etc...

The projector reads it like this: Slide1.jpg, Slide10.jpg,
Slide11.jpg......Slide19.jpg, Slide2.jpg, Slide20, etc...

I would like to change the naming scheme so that it reads
Slide001.jpg, Slide002.jpg....Slide010.jpg, etc...

Can this be done?

Thank you in advance for any help.
 
You can control the naming scheme by using code.

'=============================================
Sub Export()
Const OUTPUT_FOLDER = "C:\Workarea\"
Dim oSld As Slide

For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
Call oSld.Export(OUTPUT_FOLDER & "Slide" & Format(oSld.SlideIndex,
"000") & ".jpg", "JPG")
Next

End Sub
'=============================================

The other answers here are good ones; if you want something pre-made and
automatic, have a look at our Image Exporter add-in:

http://www.pptools.com/imageexport/

It lets you specify the format of your slide image filenames exactly as you've
requested.
