How to restart Slide Numbers

[Guest]

I have a presentation of 100 slides. I have three different masters with the
slide number called out on the bottom of each slide. I would like the first
25slides that uses Master1 to have the slide #s 1-25 at the bottom. I then
want the next 35slides (following the first 25) to use Master2 and have the
slide numbers of 1-35 on them. Can you tell powerpoint to start the slide
numbering at a certain number like you can in Word?

In PowerPoint, the slide numbers are primarily for sequencing order, not for
page numbering. Therefore, you can reassign the start number to anything
from 0 to 9999, but the slides will progress incrementally from that start
number.
Use File => Page SetUp ... => Number slides from ..., to adjust the first
slide number.

You could use 3 separate slide shows and hyperlink between them, if the page
numbering is critical. Or, alternately, you could manually add the page
numbers.

Yes, but only once per presentation. It doesn't support sections with
independent page numbering per section.

If your presentation were broken up into multiple files, each linked from a
master presentation/slide, then each could have its own numbering.
