Hi Christophe,
thanks for your fast reply!
There are several things I miss with the "Insert - Summary Slide" feature:
1. As far as I know it does not show the slide number
2. It is not so "handy" in usage, that the Summary Slide contents is based on the selected slides, 
specially if you presentation contains up to 200 slides (the Summary should contain only the chapter slides, 
not each).
3. It is not dynamic. Since the presentation "lives", very often we add slides, move them or delete 
some. That would mean, we have to create then always a new summary slide manually by collecting the title 
slides and must reformat it again ...

Before asking on this list, I searched the Internet for a solution for my issues. I found "a lot 
of" similar requests from OOo and PowerPoint users. But it's hard for me, to give a number.
Microsoft Support team created a VBA Macro to adress the "page number on custom slide show" issue 
in PowerPoint. So it seems, there are more people asking for it.
