Rolling Outline?

Has anyone ever heard of a rolling outline before? I want
to create a presentation that holds the outline for my
presentation constant on the left side of the page on
every slide and the actual slide on the right side of the
page. When I go from slide to slide on slide show, the
name of the slide in the outline would be highlighted
corresponding to which ever slide is showing at the time.
I have seen a presentation like this before and the
presenter called it a rolling outline. Please help me!

Hi Anna,

PowerPoint does this automatically in edit mode. Click on
View, Normal. Could the presenter have used edit mode to
actually do a presentation?

I think she means during the presentation.
In theory this is easy enough to do.
Just make a tall narrow text box with the complete outline of slides
on it and copy it to every page. You'd then have to change the color
of the name of the slide for the page you are on, for every page.
You could even hyperlink each slide name so that you could jump
right there at the click of a mouse.
A couple of problems I can see though
1. It would take up a lot of space
2. It looks like a fair amount of work,
especially if you add or delete slides,
3. You could run into the seldom reached ceiling for
the number of hyperlinks allowed.

You can avoid many of these problems by putting the "roadmap" on the master
slide. It will then show up on each slide that uses that master.

How to show progression? As you build your individual slides, place a
slightly colored box over the title of the slide you are currently viewing.
This will show where you are and make the link to the current slide
un-clickable.

If more details are needed, let me know. (FYI: There is a rather detailed
example of this in my new book: Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint.)

Open your presentation and view the master slide (View-- Master-- Slide
Masters). Add a text box on the left side of your master. In this text box,
list the names of your slides. (You probably don't want the whole title,
just an indication of what is on the slide.) Select the first slide name.
Right click and select "Hyperlink". Set the hyperlink to the correct slide.
Repeat this for each of the other slides. Close the slide master view.

That box will now appear on each slide that uses the master you changed, and
each slide title will be underlined (indicating it is linked to a slide)..
Go to the first slide and (using the drawing tools) create a box that is the
size of the slide name. Move the box over the title of this slide in your
left hand list. Right click the shape and select Format Autoshape. On the
Colors and Lines tab, set the transparency of the box to a fairly high
number. Close the Format dialog. Copy the box.

Now, move to the next slide, paste the box and move it over the slide name
for this slide. Repeat the paste and move steps for each slide in your list.

Try it and let us know if it does what you need.
