We have a 34 slide PowerPoint presentation.

If I create a custom slide show of say slides 1, 8 and 34 is there a way for
the custom slide show to be printed with the slide numbers re-ordered to be
1, 2 & 3?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Custom shows do not renumber their slide numbers; they retain the
slide number in the entire presentation.

I think the only way you could probably do this would be to use a VBA
macro to move all of the slides to the beginning of the presentation
before printing (or copy to a new presentation), then reset their
order after printing.

Actually, better to duplicate the slides instead of moving them. This
way, you don't have to restore their original position (just delete
the duplicated slides) plus, since a slide can appear multiple times
in the same custom show, it will show up multiple times in the printed
version as well.
