How do I change the starting slide number within a presentation?

I want to divide one presentation file into "modules," each with its own
footer text and starting slide numbering over again at 1. I can solve the
footer problem with new slide masters -- how do I start slide numbering from
1 for each module?

Thanks,
Bonnie Depp
 
You would have to manually insert the page numbers. If you made the modules
into their own presentation and link form one to the other then you could do
what you want.

Thanks, Michael -- that was the sad conclusion I was coming to! Question 1:
When you say "link," what do you mean? Question 2: I tried using the Custom
Shows feature of the slideshow capability, putting each module into its own
show, but that didn't solve my numbering problem. Any ideas there?

Thanks,

I think linking in your case, would be the best option. See here how it is
done http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com/powerpointlinking.htm
