Page numbers for hidden slides

[R Ormerod]

Is it possible to skip hidden slides in a page numbering sequence, e.g.

Slide xx
Hidden slide
Hidden slide
Slide xx +1

(Powerpoint 2003)

Not with any built in function. You can use vba to number slides in this way

I thought 'd included some code!

Here it is:

Sub numbers()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim i as Integer
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
If osld.SlideShowTransition.Hidden = False Then
i = i + 1
osld.HeadersFooters.Footer.Text = "Slide " & i
Else
osld.HeadersFooters.Footer.Text = "Slide " & i & "H"
End If
Next
End Sub
