Inserting Slide Numbers


PP07S-1.3, PP07S-4.4.1

You can insert slide numbers into the text of your presentation. When you insert slide numbers, PowerPoint keeps track of your slide numbers for you. You can insert slide numbers on every slide or only on a specific slide. To insert a slide number on every page, you place it in a placeholder on the slide master. In the Slide Master view, PowerPoint inserts a code <#> for the slide number. When you view slides in other views, the slide number is shown. To insert a slide number only on a specific page, you insert it in a text box on the slide you want. You can even start numbering with a page number other than one. This is useful when your slides are a part of a larger presentation.

Insert Slide Numbering on Slides, Notes, and Handouts


Click the View tab, and then click the Slide Master button.

Select the slide master or slide layout in the left pane in which you want to insert a slide number.

If the slide already contains a placeholder with the <#> symbol, which indicates slide numbering, you don't need to continue.

Click to place the insertion point in the text object where you want to insert the current slide number.

Click the Insert tab.

Click the Insert Slide Number button.

The <#> symbol appears in the text.

Click the Slide Master tab, and then click Close Master View button on the Ribbon.
