PowerPoint make it easier to get my slide numbers (and date and footer text) to show
When I want slide numbers to show, I can't seem to make it happen reliably. When I don't want them to show, somehow they magically reappear.
Why can't the headers and footers (slide numbers, dates and footer text) just work?

Holy cow MS! How can this still be so screwed up and never gets fixed. Put slide numbering feature in ONE place and make editing simple and direct. I've tried editing all slide masters and get no success.

Lots of common functionnalities became actually hard to be found out… without obvious reason of complexifying their use .
number of pages, diaporam visualisaiton…. -

Die Formatierung von Fußzeilen war früher deutlich einfacher, wo ist die Viorlage mit den leeren Feldern für Foliennummern, Datum und Titel??

how can I change the format (style and size) of the slide number?
Furthermore, when the slide numbers have already been entered (with the insert command> slide number) then if I want to delete them I have to re-access the same command and it makes me a duplicate of the number bul don't open the dialog box -

Why aren't the Office's "Quick Parts" available in PowerPoint? These commands should be MORE consistent across ALL Office apps. There should be ONE common ribbon for all Office apps. Then, add app specific parts to the ribbon and denote them as APP specific. I've been an office user since it first came out and while the S/W is better, the interface is way behind the times... I guess that's the result of being a monopoly.

Unbelievably horrible method of getting page numbers, footers and date to work, between having to configure in the master, slide layouts, and in the slides themselves. And then it still doesn't work even when you follow the suggested guidelines! Terrible, terrible, terrible!!! there's got to be a simpler, less frustrating, more reliable way to do this. Fix it please!!!!

スライド番号の書式設定が出来るようにしてほしい。番号が小さすぎて、スライドを9つ一枚に表示する印刷をすると番号が見えない。

It's really tricky and an occasional user cannot WASTE his time to find it !

I have been using PowerPoint for years. Why has it taken me over an hour and my header/footer still does not work?

I lost a lot of time to manage the slide numbers.

We required 2 text footers - one for confidentiality and one for copyright - you need to allow for two footer text boxes that can be placed one left and one right for different text. The page number can go in the center.

PowerPoint slide numbering is way too difficult. It's cost me HOURS. Just adopt the WORD system.

When I try to remove or reposition the slide number, the words "Slide Number" appear and won't go away. It won't allow me to select the words to delete them either.

スライド番号を、powerpointのファイル一括で固定にできませんか？理由は研修等で使う資料をpowerpointで作っています。ここまでは自動ページが便利です。この後、このファイルを使って、受講生等の印刷テキストを作ります。並行して、各講師は自分の研修用powerpointの編集に入りますが、この時、自分の自己紹介を1枚挿入すると、各ページ番号が、配布資料と合わなくなるので、この前に、ページ番号の固定機能があると便利です。ファイルを分ければいいので、不可逆の変換でＯＫです。先頭だけなら、先頭ページを変更して何とか対応できますが、途中でappendix等を挿入するともう対応できません。

Slide numbers don't work, no matter how much a Mac PPT user fiddles with slide master, footers, apply to all, etc. Ridiculous, Microsoft PPT is a (bad) joke.
