Cannot get page numbers on my slides using insert page numbers

[sunshine]

I can only get 'footyers' with page numbers to appear on first and last
slide...how do I get the info on the rest of the slides?

PowerPoint 2007

Insert / Text group / Header & Footer / window of same name launches / Slide
tab / click in Slide number so that it has a tick (check) in it / Apply to All

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

You must have two things for a footer / page number to show:

1. A placeholder
2. Populate the placeholder

To ensure you have the placeholder on each master -- AND slide layout -- go
to View | Master | Slide Master. Check every slide thumbnail to ensure there
is a placeholder for the slide number (and for the footer and the date, if
desired). If these are missing on any layout, copy and paste the
placeholders from another slide master or layout.

Then go to Header and Footer (on the View menu in PPT 2003 and prior, on the
Insert tab in PPT 2007 and 2010) and make the appropriate selections.
