Importing slides into new presentation - keeping slide numbers

[tanira2]

Hello,



Is there any way to name slides?
I have a presentation with rollovers in it. It works fine whilst I'm using it but the slides will ultimatly be put into another presentation (not by me). When I practice this on my own because it's still trying to find the slide I originally hyperlinked the image to, the action stops working. Is there any way I can over come this?

I've tried to re-use the slides and keep formatting but that didn't work.

The short answer is no (well no simple way without coding or trickery)

Hyperlinks do not depend on the slide number or name but on the Slide ID which is a unique number that is not visible to the normal user.

The problem is that this number is only unique within a given presentation. When you combine two or more presentations there will initially be duplicates and PPT will "fix" this by changing some of the IDs - almost certainly breaking your hyperlinks.
