Show the Slide Number and Total Number of Slides on Every Powerpoint Slide
It's easy to display the current slide number and total number of slides on your PowerPoint presentation. Please see steps below to get started.
Steps
- Click Slide Master, and then click the slide master thumbnail, from the View tab, in the Presentation Views group.
- Click Text Box on the Insert tab, in the Text group and then drag to draw the text box where you want the slide number to appear on your slides.
- Click Slide Number, on the Insert tab, in the Text group, with the cursor still in the text box.
- Place your cursor before the <#>, and then type Slide.
- Place your cursor after the <#>, and then type of x , where x equals the total number of slides in your presentation
- Finished.
Tips
- Because this procedure adds slide numbers to the slide master, the slide numbers can't be deleted from or edited in individual slides and they won't appear in the Header and Footer dialog box
