re-order

[mike]

i'm not quite sure how to word this but here goes; i have been given a fairly
long powerpoint presentation (74 slides) it is designed in two halves, the
first half is for the person who is being given the presentation and the
second half is for the speaker conducting the presentation. now i need to
re-arrange the slides so that they are in order one after the other rather
than in two seperate halves (if you kow what i mean?) so it would be 'slide 1
= slide for the person recieving the presentation then slide 2 = the
corresponding slide for the person giving the presentation' is there an
easier way to do this without cutting and pasting them into order? if this
just reads like jibberish then post back to me and i will try and re-phrase.
cheers.

If the show is split exactly into two halves then this vba should do it

Sub interleave()
Dim i As Integer
Dim pos As Integer
Dim opres As Presentation
Set opres = ActivePresentation
For i = (opres.Slides.Count) / 2 + 1 To opres.Slides.Count - 1
pos = pos + 2
opres.Slides(i).MoveTo (pos)
Next
End Sub

Don't know what to do with vba?

Looks like you want to reorder the odd and even slides.

Sub MoveOddNumberedSlideToTop()
Dim SlideIndex() As Integer
ReDim SlideIndex(1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)

'Create a range of odd number slides
'This will create an array which looks like this
'{1,0,3,0,5,...}

For i = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count Step 2
SlideIndex(i) = i
Next

'Move the slides in the array to the top
' 0 is ignored by PowerPoint.
ActivePresentation.Slides.Range(SlideIndex).MoveTo 1

End Sub

Shyam and John gave you some VBA solutions if the presentation is
divided evenly in half. However, if you want to re-order slides without
VBA, you might just want to go to Slide Sorter View and drag the slides
around to where you want them.
