Is is possible to set up a handout master in PowerPoint 2002 so that the
presentation title is automatically inserted into the footer?
 
Hi John,

The only way is to actually type the title into handout master.

HTH,
Glenna

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for
so you would have to enter the file name and path manually, write a macro
or use 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 filename and path
"field" to a presentations header or footer text or other
calculated/dynamic fields such as 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:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
