Need to print file name of Powerpoint presentation. 1

[alex20850]

I am printing and distributing versions of a PowerPoint presentation for review. I need to be able to see the version of the presentation by having the file name printed with the presentation.

Does it have to be file name, or can it be date and time of printing?
Date and time can be done in the header, on the insert menu.

Have tried Date and Time in Footer from Normal View and Insert, Apply All, but it only appears on the Title page.
Have tried Date and Time in Footer in Master View and it does not appear. The date appears on the footer of each page.

Which version of PowerPoint?

2003 sp3

OK, I am running 2007 so can't help with specifics. I have found that PP does not use the same triggers as Excel for standard text items in the header or footer, such as &[file] to insert filename. Been a while since I used 2003.
