Can officer re-order slides?

Question

Here's the situation: I have a (corporate) Powerpoint template which contains the Master, a Title slide, and a "Closing" last slide. I'd like to be able to use that as the basis for my work in R with officer , but don't see a way to reassign new slides to appear in between the existing default slides. I was hoping either for a command like "add_slide" but with an option to set the index, forcing other slides to be re-indexed, or alternatively a way to edit the internal database used by slide_summary. Closely-related issue add slide at an index .

Answer 1

When released, the function move_slide will allow re-ordering of slides. This is not as "beautiful" as a simple add_slide( index = x,...) implementation but will suffice so long as you keep careful count of the "builtin" slides in the template file.
