Powerpoint Footers in Handouts

Hi, whenever I print PPT handouts, if you have to go back
and change one slide later and then just want to print
that one page to insert back into the rest I cannot find
a way to get the page number to be correct i.e. i always
prints it as page 1 not say Page 17 so you have to print
the whole PPT again which is very frustrating !

Is there a solution out there ? I would have thought it
was smart enough to tell the 'true' page number not just
count up from 1 as it prints ....

Many Thanks

Hello,

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 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:

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

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

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