Counting hidden slides

I frequently teach with PowerPoint and like to give 4- or 6- up
handouts (duplexed, to save paper). The last step I do before printing
is to visually in slide sorter mode come up with a count of the number
of hidden slides, which I use to calculate the number of non-hidden
slides so I know if I should not print some less important slides
which would get me to an even multiple of 8 or 12 slides. Is there an
automated way to figure out that I have X slides of which Y are
hidden, resulting in X-Y slides that are ready to go? I use PowerPoint
2007 on Windows XP Professional. Thanks!

Hi

Office button -> prepare -> properties -> click on document properties drop
down -> advanced properties -> statistics. Make sure you save before doing
this or the stats won't be correct. You can add the 'properties' button to
the quick access toolbar if you do this a lot.

Thanks, Lucy! That worked nicely. This was also a good help to me in
learning the 2007 suite, as I just upgraded about a week ago. Thanks!

Happy to help :-)

And if you have just upgraded you may find the guides here useful:

They basically tell you where all the commands have gone ;-)

Thanks! I actually have an issue in the transition relating to
animations; so it can easily be found, I'll just create a new posting
on that topic in a moment. Thanks!
