Adding Slide Numbers

You can add numbers (similar to page numbers) to individual slides. Or you can turn on
numbering for a master slide so that each new slide based on that master
automatically gets an ascending slide number.

Here are ways to add slide numbers:

m

Select a slide in the slide navigator, open the Slide Inspector, click Appearance, and
then select Slide Number. The number assigned reflects the location of the slide in the
organizer (skipped slides aren’t numbered).

m

To add slide numbers to a master slide, click View in the toolbar and choose Show
Master Slides. In the master slide navigator, select the master slide you want to modify.
Open the Slide Inspector, click Appearance, and then select Slide Number.

You can drag the number wherever you like on the slide, and you can use the Font
panel to format the number.

Using Comments

As you work on your slideshow, you can add comments to slides. For example, you
could use comments to remind yourself of changes you want to make to the slide.
(Comments are different from presenter notes; see “Adding Presenter Notes” on
page 166.)

You can move comments anywhere on the slide canvas. If you have your own presenter
display while making a presentation, you can see your comments but your audience
can’t.

Comments are always on top of the slide canvas, so they may obscure parts of your
slide. Simply drag the comments out of the way, hide them, or resize them.

Here are ways to work with comments:

m

To add a comment, click Comment in the toolbar or choose Insert > Comment. Type a
note, idea, or reminder, and then drag the comment wherever you want to place it on
the canvas.

Add comments to slides.

You can easily show and

hide comments.
