When you’re presenting a PowerPoint presentation, it can be easy to lose track of what slide you’re currently on—especially if it’s a large one. To help, you can add slide numbers in PowerPoint to know your position.
You could, of course, add slide numbers manually to each of your slides using text boxes. This isn’t an option we’d recommend because any changes you make (for instance, by adding new slides) would require you to update your slide numbers manually, too.
