Power Point Slide Numbers

[bobnplano]

I prepare a Bible study each week and set up a Power Point presentation to go along with my lesson. I am using Windows 10 and Power Point (MS Office 365). I prepare my manuscript first and then open Power Point and create slides to coincide with my manuscript and hand-write the slide number on the manuscript. My issue is this: After having prepared my Power Point presentation, sometimes I realize I need to go back and add a slide at some point in my presentation. However, when I add a slide, all succeeding slide numbers jump by one number. This puts all my succeeding slide numbers off by one or more. Is there a way to add a slide and make the slide number perhaps with an "A" or "B" beside the slide number without throwing the other numbers out of whack? I have been manually handwriting the new numbers, but it is awful tedious to do this. Perhaps someone has a suggestion that might help. I am open to suggestions.

Hey, if I weren't on the opposite side of the DFW metroplex (SW Ft Worth), I'd maybe attend your Bible study.

If you put your text onto each individual slide as "Comments" or "Notes" (I forget which) They will move with the slide whenever you move it or insert anything before it. And the numbering will automatically change. You can print out just the Comments/Notes as your manuscript.

That might be the least painful way to do it.

So Sam, if I understand you correctly, you're saying put my manuscript in "Comments" or "Notes"? If I do that, you're saying I can just print out my notes for the manuscript? Is there enough room in "Comments" or "Notes" for a lengthy discussion of the slide? If this is the case, then this can be an answer to my prayers! I never thought about that! I'll check into that on my next lesson. I'll get back to you with results. Thank you Sam.

Skip, I searched far and wide for a comment or lesson that your link provided. Thanks a lot!

By the way Skip, I am no longer in Plano, but in Denison, up the road. You're welcome anytime also.
