Just like you add page numbers to a Word document to help readers keep track of where they are in the document, you should also add page numbers to your PowerPoint slides to help you and your audience keep track of where your slide content is throughout a long presentation.
To add page numbers to slides in PowerPoint, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open your PowerPoint presentation in Normal view.
Step 2: Navigate to the first slide in the presentation.
Step 3: Access the Insert tab and click the Slide Number button in the Text feature group on the ribbon toolbar.
Step 4: In the Header and Footer dialog box that appears, click the Slide tab.
Step 5: Next, click the Slide number option and the Preview frame on the right side, you will see the slide number appear on your slide.
If you only want the slide page number to appear on the current slide, just click the Apply button. Conversely, if you want to insert page numbers for all slides in the presentation, click the Apply to All button.
If you want to apply slide numbers to all slides but the first slide, just check the Don’t show on title slide option and click the Apply to All button.
If you want to add slide numbers to your notes pages, select the Notes and Handouts tab and click the Page number option, then click the Apply to All button.
Step 6: In case you want to start the slide numbering with any number other than 1, go to the Design menu, in the Customize group select the Slide Size option > Custom Slide Size. Under Number slides from, enter the number you want to start the slide numbering > OK.
