In Normal View, apply layouts that include a slide number placeholder to slides.In order to insert slide numbers on a slide, you will need to do two things:
If slide numbers are entered manually in text boxes on your slides, you won't be able to edit or format them easily and they will not renumber if the slides are rearranged. It's best not to type slide numbers in text boxes on slides in Normal View. If the placeholders have been deleted, slide numbers will not display. If your slide layouts contain slide number placeholders, you can then apply those layouts to your slides and insert slide numbers in the placeholders. You can insert slide numbers on some or all of your PowerPoint slides using slide layouts.
