Page numbering

I always print out handout notes for my students. I have two presentations that I would like to staple together and put into kinda a book format with a table of content. I would like the second presentation to start page numbering at page 10 instead of page one. Is there a way to change the default so I can control the page numbering?

You might play with File/Send to Word. Don't know how well Word's page
numbering will do what you need it to do, though. Just depends on how
complicated the numbering is. If it's just "start the page number on
10," that should work.

Alternatively, check Shyam's Handout Wizard.

You could, for the sake of printing the handouts only, add blank slides to
the beginning of the show.

If you are using 4 slides per page, then add 40 slides to the beginning.
This will of course temporarily skew the slide numbers. On the print dialog
box, print from page 10 thru end.

It is clumsy, but it avoids the second run thru the printer method.

File, Page Setup, set Number Slides From to 10
 
You know Steve, he threw me off with the hand-outs part. I though he wanted
to print 3 slide per page handouts that began with page number 10 instead of
whole page slides that began with number 10.

Of course, for the sake of printing, he could just combine the two shows and
print them out, then there would be no complications.

Heh, obviously I thought that, too!

I think you had it right and I missed the boat, actually.

Hello out there? Listen to HIM. Ignore ME. 'Kay?
 
Steve,

Where would we be if we all went around ignoring some people and listening
to others? Oh, wait ... that's not what I meant.

I was experimenting with my MOD (Mixed Orientation Device) and now my
perspective is all whacked out. I keep looking at things from sideways on
and the stuff on top my monitor keeps falling off.

I did want to print 3 slides per hand out. I have considered combining all of the presentations into one for the sake of printing. Changing the slide number didn't solve the problem. Oh if it only worked like word.

Well, it does if you use File/Send to Word. :-)

(What we were debating is whether you need to number the slides from 10 or
the actual pages from 10. Steve originally thought slides, whereas B and I
were thinking pages.)

Hello,

It sounds like you are trying to print handouts. If so, PowerPoint does not
have the specific capability that you are looking for. Handouts will always
print out with page numbering starting at 1.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide some additional page numbering options for for printing handouts
from PowerPoint (without having to rely on Word, VBA or add-ins), don't
forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:
