Since migrating to MS Office 2007, my old slides when upgraded to PPT 07 will
not allowme to add a page numberon the slides.  I have saved the slide show
to a new show, I have tried placin gin the field on Master View, I have
simply tied the 'button' to insert slide number.  I get no results, after
multiple multiple efforts.

Anyone fiind a work around?  I do not need to re-build 60-slides for
training just to have a page number.

Hi,
You need to ensure that the slide number placeholder is set in the master
template.

Slide master/ master layout/ tick slide number > then make sure it is on
each slide of the master template (it does not always copy across them all
even if you place it on the primary master slide).

Then click back to normal view. select 'insert' tab and click 'slide number'
(in the text group) - make sure slide number is ticked and 'apply to all'.

I hope that helps.
