Numbering the slides

Mr. X

Hello! May I ask for some assistance?

I find presentations boring and mine, the most boring of all.
But I have to do them.

One thing I wish others would do, and wish I hope to do myself
is the following...

Say, I have 30 PPT slides.
I would like to number each one as follows:
1/30, 2/30, 3/30, 4/30

So that my audience knows that the horror is coming to an
end.

How can I number the slides and ALSO insert a / followed
by how many slides all together?

(this way, they know when to wake up, and stop the silly
bug eyes they get when they try not to sleep)

Bill D wrote a nice little add-in that automates the page x of y thing. I
wonder if it could be adapted to show x/y?

Whether it can or not, the add-in can be gotten to from this PPT FAQ entry:

I believe life is meant to be lived. But:
if we live without making a difference, it makes no difference that we lived
 
Thought about Bill's add in. Might be nice if he re wrote it to include that as
an option <g>
