I have tried all I know to make the page number reappear however I am not
able to. The page numbers for the slides following are correct. There is
just no number showing on the one slide. There are no graphics covering the
posistion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Probably the slide uses a title slide layout. Go to View | Header and Footer
and make sure "don't show on title slide" is not checked.

If that doesn't fix it, go to View | Master | Slide Master, then go to the
Title Slide Master. Then go to Format | Master Layout and check the box for
"slide number" to add back the slide number placeholder.

You can also look under Format | Background to make sure "omit background
graphics from master" is not checked.
 
Because slide numbers are no longer part of the footer, and you can actually
select them on each slide, it may be as simple as the page number on that
individual slide got deleted. It happens in reports in my office all the time.

If this is the case, (and the slide has the correct layout).simply cut and
paste the slide number from the previous slide (or any other with a
number)...and it will automatically update to the correct number.
