Search functionality in PowerPoint 2003 PPS

[KUKArmichon]

I'd like to give my viewers the option to search for a word, document, title,
etc. from the main page instead of having to have them go to the table of
contents, or through the entire presentation. (Background - the
presentation is a "living" manual for a design group).
Is there a search functionality that can be used in a PowerPoint Show? I'm
thinking something along the lines of what you'd see in an access data base
to "search" the file. Will a VBA functionality be needed to make this work?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Steve,
The majority have both PPT and the viewer. However, I can't ensure that all
of our future sources will have both. The security setting for macros is
not an issue internally (provided they know how to set their securities.) I
cannot guarantee that this is the case with outside sources, especially since
we are dealing in a global market. Is there another way to get around this?
Will something other than VBA work? I already have a table of contents which
is linked to the various slide titles and subjects within the manual. Is
this the best I am going to be able to do through ppt?
Again, thank you for your help!

Thanks for the input Steve. I'm guessing that for now we will have to live
with hyperlinks and the table of contents pages.
