automating powerpoint

[trstbmbk]

I am thinking about a powerpoint project and I hope I can describe it sufficiently here to get the help I need.

I will have several slides and they will change daily. I would like to have on the side of each slide a numbering and the title of each slide. But I would like this to automatically update when a slide is removed or replaced or slides are added.

For example:

I have 4 slides-order 1, order 2, order 3, order 4



Each slide will have details about the specific order and on the sidebar, there will be a list of all of my slides by their title-order 1, order 2, order 3, order 4. When a new slide is added (order 5) I would like that sidebar to automatically update to show there is a new slide. And, if the slides are rearranged to a different order, I would like to also be reflected.

Is this possible? I have used powerpoint to do simple projects, but nothing this complex. Any ideas?

It's not totally clear what you want to appear on the slides (or is is just one slide) BUT if you want the text to change when slides are added / deleted then you can really only do this with an AddIn.

Not really a project for coding beginners. Do you have any vba experience?
