I think we'll have to agree to disagree on how serious this problem is. Would it be nice to retain the order (beyond a suffix in the file name)? Sure.

But again, the main point of the slide library is that the *individual slides* become the resources, and so their relative position (or even the fact that they had a relative position) in the original file is not as important.

And as you pointed out, you can always sort the slides any way you like in PowerPoint once you have imported them. :)

All that's nice Woody, but face it we already have the ability to sort slides in PowerPoint. So, why the heck would M$ have the oversight to lose the order of the slides? Let's face it, when I try to explain this to an Administrative Assistant they recoil at this and it loses all traction of the "re-usability".

Eric,

That is true enough, but the slide library is more for saving each slide as a resource. e.g. If you need "about this company", "Key Clients", or a slide with "Last Quarter Earnings", and you want to make sure everyone uses the same information, no matter what the presentation.

If you want to save the presentation intact for re-use in the same form, just save it as well. There is no substitute for the whole thing in that case.

However, you could save a number of boilerplate presentations, each referring back to the key slides from the slide library. That way, after you update the key slides, when someone opens the boilerplate they are prompted to update to the latest versions.

Why I don't use the Slide Library - it doesn't read the Slide Number from the original presentation, and the slides don't necessarily get uploaded in order, so if I want to reconstitute my original presentation, I have to hunt down all of the original slides and manually get them in the right order.

It's an old story, dates back to China, and was a well known poem in the 19th Century about the pointlessness of theological arguments! www.noogenesis.com/.../blind_men_elephant.html
