This seems like it should be pretty simple. Can you rename a slide? I have looked all over and can't find a way to do it. Is it possible?

Don,
Each slide takes it's name from the Title. i.e. the "insert title text here
placeholder"
If your slide has no title.....you can add a title and drag the title off
the page
Format>Layout>Title slide

TAJ has explained where the slide's name comes from if you're looking at the
slide navigation list in screen show.
Is that what you're after or is it something else? There are other ways of
naming slides.

Maybe I didn't pose my question correctly. My slides are named slide 1, slide 2, slide 3, etc. I want to rename them so that when you right click during presentation you have a specific slide name instead of just slide1, etc.
When I select Format from menu I do NOT get a Layout Title Slide option. I hovered over the arrow at the bottom and still no Layout Tiltle Slide option
I am running PowerPoint2003

Go to Format > Slide Layout. In the task pane select a layout that shows a
title on the slide. For example, hover over one of the thumbnails - - the
second one down is probably "Title Only". Pick it or the one of your
choice.

That's fine, then. That's what we understood you to mean, just wanted to
make sure we had it right.

I'm not sure if you've already seen Sonia's reply. If so, there's a little
confusion over the specific instrux. You need to choose Format on the menu
bar then click Slide Layout ...
That will force the Slide Layout pane to appear on the right side of your
screen if it's not already there. In it, you'll see a bunch of little
thumbnails representing the different available layouts. You need to pick
one of those, one that has a slide title as part of the layout.

OK, I get it now. I fogot to mention that I do NOT want the slide "title" to display on the slide. I dragged the slide title off the slide and now I have what I want. When viewer right clicks they get the slide title, but it is NOT on the slide. PERFECT! Thanks to all!
