Number on Pages
Amanda, thank you very much for your reply.
Is it possible for you also to tell me how to keep the sequencce of the numbered pages, for example:
PowerPOint slide1 - page number 1
PowerPoint slide2 - breakdown page - no number
PowerPoint slide 3 - breakdown page - no number
PowerPOint slide 4 - page number 2 (and NOT 4)
thank you,
ewa
RE: number on Pages
Hi Ewa
I'm not sure if it's possible to do this, I haven't come across anything in PowerPoint before that would allow you to number your slides in this way. It isn't really like Word, where it's much easier to control numbering.
I'll look into it and if I come up with anything, I'll let you know.
Kind regards
Amanda
RE: number on Pages
Ewa, is the presentation going to be shown on screen, or is it going to be printed, or both?

RE: number on Pages
Amanda, it's going to be both printed and on the screen..is there a way of applying it only to print outs?
RE: number on Pages
The only way I can think of to get the slide numbering the way you want it is to split the file into more than one file.
That way you could have:
Presentation 1 with numbers 1 and 2 on the first two slides, then no numbering on slides 3 and 4.
Presentation 2 with the first three slides numbered 4, 5, 6 by going into File - Page Setup and setting Number slide from: to 3
and so on.
So every time you want to start numbering again from a different number other than 1, you would need to put those slides into a new presentation.
To run the presentations together when presenting, you would need to have a hyperlink from the first presentation to open the second presentation, a hyperlink from the second presentation to open the third and so on.
As far as printing is concerned, I would send each presentation to Word, then you could put the slides together into one Word document.
It's a bit messy but it's the only way I can think of to do this.
Kind regards
Amanda
