Default Generating text output from PowerPoint picture/name slides

Hello all,

I'm not sure how well I can even explain what I am trying to do, but I'll give it a go.

I've set up a PowerPoint slideshow with a lot of images (240) that I want to show in random order. I've used some VB code to randomize the slides (I didn't write it), but what I'm trying to do now is to find a way of returning a list that shows the name and position (order) of each picture (the file name in this case). I can display the picture's name in PowerPoint below each image as there is an option for this when importing the images.

Of course, I can flick through the slides manually and make a note of each name and where it occurs in the sequence, but this is labour intensive as I intend to make quite a few different versions.

I just wonder if there is a quicker and easier method that anyone knows to get the information (text) I need output into a file of some sorts. I suspect it requires programming, which I'm not great at.

Thanks in advance,

Bornlsippy
