How to add page numbers in powerpoint, with starting from 0, adding total page number and not show

The page number of slide setting is achieved by setting the slide number in PowerPoint (referred to as PPT), because each slide is a page. It can also be set to start from any page (such as page 2 or page 3), and the title page can be set to not display the page number; its format can also be set to "page number/total page number" or "number of pages", etc. form.

Page number settings in PowerPoint often have the problem that the page number is not displayed. The reasons are probably the following: the page number is covered by the background graphic or background image of the master, the slide number is not displayed in the master, and the slide does not use the layout in the master. To solve these problems, the master needs to be modified. In another case, the total page number are added after the original page number, and it is not displayed in the slides. In this case, a new text box needs to be added.

When you need to delete the text box of the original page number, the method is: click <#> to select the text box with original page number, then click the rotation icon to exit the input state and only select the text box, press Delete on the keyboard to delete it, the demo is shown in Figure 8:

Figure 8

Tip: The total number pages of slide are added by yourself. After deleting the slide, it will not be automatically changed to the total number of remaining slide pages. You need to modify it yourself. In addition, you can add text around <#>, for example: pages <#> or <#> pages, <#> means specific page number, color and font can be set according to your needs.

Note: The total number of pages will be displayed only when the master slide is applied. If a new slide without a master is created, it will not be displayed. Only after adding the corresponding master to the master view and adding the total number of pages, it will be displayed.
