Hello Mike,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for
so the total number of pages would either have to entered manually or you
would have to write a macro or use an add-in (I see that Kathryn and Steve
have already referred you to the workarounds).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
be able to automatically calculate and insert the total number of slides,
or other calculated/dynamic fields such as filename, path, modify date,
etc. (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send
your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
