Does SE (desktop ediiton) only indexes the outline text, or is the textin the related note pages also indexed?
Two reasons for the question:
1) we use notes pages extensively
2) we are considering adding a unique id for each slide in the note page, to find duplicates back.
You might argue that SE does so, but whenever we translate from Eng to Duthc or French, or just sligtly change the outline, SE cannot recognize these slides are related.
What we would need to keep track thereof is something along these lines:
- retrieves from some location (txt, ini, whatever) the last IDn° used
- for each subfolders of a given folder (no GUI needed, I can start it up in command line style or within a ppt from that folder) and
o for each ppt / pptx (I have both formats) in that folder
for each slide in that ppt/pptx
• if there’s no Identifier on it (a fixed labeled text box – say “MIGID” - with an ID somewhere on the note page)
o increase ID
o add a textbox – preferably top or bottom left - with the new ID as content
• endif
endfor // slide
o endfor // ppt
- endfor // subfolder
- stores new IDn° // best an easy accesible location, so manual correction is easy. just in case ...
This is relaed to the suggestion to allow a "link/unlink" fuctionality I've send to you from within SE
