Numbered
My Way
Ever give a presentation
that involved a couple of different PowerPoint files? Was it confusing
to have the slide numbers of all the different files start over at
1? Looking for a quick fix to avoid duplicates? No, I'm not proposing
something so drastic as to merge the two presentations together; it's
just a quick adjustment to the slide numbering!
To alter the number
of the first slide in a presentation, you need to go to the Page
Setup dialogue window.
In older
versions of PowerPoint, the Page Setup is found under the
File menu.
In PowerPoint
2007, you can find it on the Design ribbon.
In any case, when
the Page Setup window opens, take a look in the bottom left corner.

See the Number
Slides From field? That's where you'll enter the number you
want for the first slide in the presentation and then click OK.
There you have
it. A quick fix to your duplicate number dilemma!
