Slide List within Powerpoint Presentation

Hey Everyone,

Is there a way to pull the slide names automatically into your powerpoint presentation?

I am attempting to use PowerPoint to create wireframes for new websites we start at work. The reason behind this is that everyone who needs to use the wireframes already has powerpoint installed.

The master pages help with this as it is easy to identify and place items on every page. However some of our site maps are hundreds of pages long.

Ideally i would like to create a dynamic box that has the slide names automatically inserted into it to mimic a navigation structure for a website.

As new slides are added, they populate the textbox in the presentation.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Chris

Not automatically as new slides are added, but by running a macro yourself, yes.

Add a list box control to a slide.
Add a command button to the same slide.
Doubleclick the command button to get to the Click event for the button.

Modify the code to look like this:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim oSl As Slide
With Me.ListBox1
.Clear
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
.AddItem (oSl.Name)
Next
End With
End Sub

To update the list, go into slideshow view on that slide, click the command button.

Voi, as they say, la.
