Hopefully I can pose this question as to explain my needs .

For instance , I have a 109 slide rpesentation ready to go . I am viewing my presentation in " NORMAL VIEW " . In looking at the thumbnails pane to the left , each slide has a number assigned to it by order .

What I would like to do it to rename the slides instead of them having numbers . From the " insert " tab , I have been able to get the " Header and Foonote " and the " date and time " and the " slide number " buttons under control for the most part . But none of those allow me to actually edit the " SLIDE NUMBER " as seen on the thumbnails .

The reason for my asking is for a quicker reference to the slide on iPhone Powerpoint Reader . My users with Iphones have to wrestle with scrolling through the actual slides. On their Iphone apps , the slide number shows . I'd like to be able to name that slide for direct referencing .
