Hi! I'm in PPT 2003. Sometimes documents I receive from other people have
duplicate page numbers. Specifically, on the actual page there will be a text
box with a page number, directly on top of the one on the slide master, so I
don't always see it. (If the doc has gone back and forth a lot, sometimes
there's a stack of them.) Once I know they're there, I have to go through and
delete 'em all. Is this a 2007 conflict? Any way around it? Thanks. =)
 
Yes it is a PPT 2007/2003 compatibility bug.

It has to do with the way that the placeholders (page number is one of them)
are handled between the two versions.
