Power Point Contents Slide

Hi there,

Following my 2010 training last weke with Nafeesa I have a follow up question.

I have recently been working on a 40 slide Power Point presentation & wish to add a Contents slide. I can see there is a button at the top of my screen that allows me to do thus by simply highlighting the relevant slides & clicking on that said button.

However, this only works for the first 3 slides, if I highlight slide 4 onwards the button is greyed out.

My Master slides complete with headings are all in place but from slide 4 onwards the button is no longer accessible.

Is anyone able to advise why & how I get round this?

Thank you.

Kate

Hi Kate,


Thank you for your question & sorry for the delay.

If you can leave that with me for another day or two it would be much appreciated.


Have a great day.

Hi Kate

In PowerPoint 2010 the summary/contents button has removed. It was only ever present in PowerPoint 2003. To include the contents button in PowerPoint 2010 it is now only available through an add-in or macro.

Can you confirm you are using PowerPoint 2010 for your presentation and not PowerPoint 2003.

Hi there,

No problem we'll do the add in.

Do you have a link for it by any chance?

Kind regards

Kate

RE: Power Point Contents Slide

Hi Kate

Give this link a go, it involves VBA coding but this website should automate that for you.

An alternative is to create a Table of Contents slide and manually hyperlink each slide title in the presentation to the contents slide.


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

Thanks Nafeesa that's great.

I have one more query, during our training you mentioned we could do further calsses for free.

I am desperate to learn more about Excel, can I register for that course for free & if so how do I do that?

Thank you

Kate
