Remarks
The SlideNumber property of a Slide object is the actual number that appears in the lower-right corner of the slide when you display slide numbers. This number is determined by the number of the slide within the presentation (the SlideIndex property value) and the starting slide number for the presentation (the FirstSlideNumber property value). The slide number is always equal to the starting slide number + the slide index number – 1.
Example
As it applies to the HeadersFooters object.
This example hides the slide number on slide two in the active presentation if the number is currently visible, or it displays the slide number if it's currently hidden.
With Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(2) _
.HeadersFooters.SlideNumber
If .Visible Then
.Visible = False
Else
.Visible = True
End If
End With
As it applies to the Slide and SlideRange objects.
This example shows how changing the first slide number affects the slide number of a specific slide.
With Application.ActivePresentation
.PageSetup.FirstSlideNumber = 1 'starts slide numbering at 1
MsgBox .Slides(2).SlideNumber 'returns 2
.PageSetup.FirstSlideNumber = 10 'starts slide numbering at 10
MsgBox .Slides(2).SlideNumber 'returns 11
End With
