footnoting slides
Hi
I would like to footnote the source of my material on my slide with a pointer to a location at the end of my presentation. I would like these footnotes to be usable in hardcopy of the presentation. How can I do this? Thanks, Rob |

footnoting slides
Hi Rob,
There are a couple of ways, depending on how you want it to look and behave. You have to be careful with terminology, because slides have footnote placeholders. It sounds like you do not want the footnotes on the slide, but at the end in an appendix style slide. Before we get into the fun, a few questions ... 1. Are you looking for fully automatic updating and footnoting? Or will you be handling the updating of this? 2. Do you want to click on a button and have the computer add a "footnote" number and ask you the information, then add it to the footnote slide automatically? 3. Do you want to show the footnote page, or just have it print out? 4. How much control do you have over the machine this will be done on (admin rights)? 5. Do you do any coding? Bill D.

Do you want to show the footnote page, or just have it print out? hmmm -- ideally, I would like to do both; minimally, i would like to print it out. do I have to choose between these? 4. How much control do you have over the machine this will be done on (admin rights)? I own the machine containing the PowerPoint -- production (creating the pdf and printing) occurs elsewhere 5. Do you do any coding? no -- but I can hack it if I have a sample Bill D. "Rob" wrote in message ...
