The information in this article applies to:
When you create a custom show that includes a presentation that has slide numbering, the slide numbering on the included presentation remains unchanged when you view the custom slide show.
Custom Show is a new feature in PowerPoint that allows you to create a presentation within a presentation instead of creating multiple, nearly identical presentations for different audiences. The original presentation is not modified by custom shows. You are merely changing the order of the slides being shown. Those slides not shown are marked as hidden for the custom show.
To omit the slide numbers, follow these steps:
1. On the Format menu, click Background.
2. Click to select the "Omit background graphics from master" check box.
NOTE: To reapply the slide numbers click to clear the "Omit background
graphics from master" check box.
3. Click Apply To All.
STATUS
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
