creating a table of contents slide

[creuben]

Does anyone know if there is a capability in PowerPoint to
automatically create a slide generated from the titles of all the
slides contained in the presentation? This would be like a table of
contents, but without page numbers. I thought this was possible, but
can't seem to find it. It would sure be useful.
Thanks

The Dillworth solution appears to put page numbers - 2 of 10 for instance - at the bottom of each slide. this is not what I was looking for. I need the old summary capability that used to be on the slide sorter menu. You could click/hold all the slides you wanted to include, then there was another button on the left hand corner that allowed you to create a slide using the titles of the slides you had identified. Its not there anymore. Has anyone created a fix for a Mac?

Thanks for your help.

Summary Slide - a feature still in PC PPt (as of 2003, at least) but
mysteriously excluded from Mac PPt 2004.

In addition to the page number feature the Dillworth addin has a feature
that creates a summary slide, which is why I suggested that you use the
addin.

To use the add-in switch to slide sorter view, use apple+a to select all the
slides, then click the "Linked Summary Slide" button on the add-in's
toolbar.
