PowerPoint Configuring how total number of slides is displayed on slides (ex. 1 of 10)
PowerPoint allows me to insert slide numbers. I'd like to be able to have it worded as "2 (of 12)", "3 (of 12)", etc.
Feature variations:
- #
- # of #
- slide # of #
Ability to not show count on hidden slides.

The MS help documentation detailing the workaround is very poor - manually change the slide master every time you add/remove a slide from a deck? It's a disappointing omission

Il fudrait que les diapositives cachées ne compte pas dans la numérotation générale pour que les personnes ne puisse pas voir qu'on a caché des dias.

This feature used to exist. Why was it removed?
;In general the newer versions of Office are harder to do. I often work in areas which don't have access to the internet and in the new Office the "Help" functions are now on the internet making them useless to me. Why?

Typical useless MS - let's not include the most important basic functionality in our products!

Automatic total number of slides will be so good! Is it really difficult to implement?

I'd like an automated way, as I add and delete slides, to have it update page x of y. This is so easy in word, why not here?

I would like to do this "slide # of #" on all my presentations as I do in Excel and Word

It's amazing that this functionality is lost somewhere. I'm pretty sure it was available in older versions. Wow!!!

Didn't use PP for some time. Coming back to it and questioning myself and hereby also you: Are you serious? It's 2020 and THIS is not a possibility? But instead you included 3D models of dinosaurs???
Also: Please let us choose which is the last slide as some of us would like to have supplementary slides which should not be counted.

Please make "Showing the slide number and total number of slides on every slide" more automatic

This capability used to be available in previous versions of PowerPoint - there was an "Insert Field" function on the ribbon that offered the ability to insert a wide variety of fields that would be automatically updated.
Please resurrect this capability!!!
