Popping in here (hijacking) to say I have also been really struggling with a
similar problem. I needed an extra first slide (not numbered) with a title
and subject list to add to my quiz as a cover slide. I needed my other
slides to retain the original numbering and it was proving difficult! !
After reading the responses, I then re-numbered my first slide "0" going to
>Insert >slide number. Slides numbered 1 -- 8 renumbered all of my slides
automatically. Magic. I managed absolutely fine. It may sound so easy, but
believe me the info that you all give to this group is marvellous.
Thank you
