Slide names change when saved as

I have a PowerPoint presentation with macros in it and I've defined some of
the slides to have specific slide names (other than Slide1, Slide2, etc).
When I use PowerPoint 2007 and save the presentation as a compatible version
(don't recall the description, but it ends up as .ppt), the slide names that
I've changed are stripped out. Is this intentional or an error?

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt
 
Not an Error, I believe that feature is not available in earlier versions of
PowerPoint.

I know it's available in 2003, but are you saying it wasn't available in
previous versions and that's why they were stripped out. I've had to force
a save as a 2007 version, but for now, everyone here who has 2007 installed,
has it default to saving as the compatible version so this could get
interesting short term.

I believe that you could using a macro, change the slide number to a name in
2000. But I don't think you could do that in 97. Your options to save are
97-2003, which is why I believe that option does not exist.

So how does a bug get reported? Or has one of you already done it.
