Hi,

my presentation of about 70 slides is experiencing a cosmetic problem : on 2
slides slide numbers do not appear although the rest of the footlines
display ok ( name / date / title). On all other slides the footline display
the slide numebrs as should. The slide numbering is ok, and counts the
not-numbererd slides.

Any idea how that comes ? All is defined in the slides' mask fields

TIA for help please.

Are those slides using the title slide layout?

MoiMeme,
Select the slide in the thumbnails in the outline view on the left of your
screen, activate the slide layout taskpane, the design you chose will have a
blue rectangle around it, hover your curser over the thumbnail in the task
pane and the name will appear.

I get a name, and a comment "applied to all slides", as it should.
This is very bizarre

MoiMeme,
You are looking in the slide design pane, look in the slide layout taskpane,
that's where all the custom slide layouts are shown. The slides where the
numbers are missing should read Title slide. If that is the case with your
slide selected go to View - headers and footers and see if there is a check
next to 'Don't show on title slide'. Uncheck that and hit apply. That should
bring the numbering back.

MoiMeme,
Also see the answer from Circe, in the French newsgroup. That's right on the
spot. Just saw your post there.
