Page number shows "#" instead of number

[JWH]

Using Office 2007, I am viewing a Powerpoint presentation created by someone
else. No matter what view (master, normal or printed out) the page number in
the footer is expressed as "#" instead of the actual number. Two other
people viewing the same presentation see the page numbers instead of the "#",
so this must have to do with my own computer set-up. Any suggestions?

What happends if you go to master view and in EACH of the layouts slide
number area delete the<#> and then Insert > SlideNumber?

Insert > Slide Number>UNTICK > apply to all
Insert Slide Number > Tick > Apply to All
