Slide.SlideNumber Property

  • Article
PowerPoint Developer Reference

Returns the slide number. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.SlideNumber

expression   A variable that represents a Slide object.

Return Value
Integer

Remarks

The SlideNumber property of a Slide object is the actual number that appears in the lower-right corner of the slide when you display slide numbers. This number is determined by the number of the slide within the presentation (the SlideIndex property value) and the starting slide number for the presentation (the FirstSlideNumber property value). The slide number is always equal to the starting slide number + the slide index number – 1.

Example

This example shows how changing the first slide number affects the slide number of a specific slide.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With Application.ActivePresentation
    .PageSetup.FirstSlideNumber = 1   'starts slide numbering at 1
    MsgBox .Slides(2).SlideNumber     'returns 2

.PageSetup.FirstSlideNumber = 10 'starts slide numbering at 10
MsgBox .Slides(2).<strong>SlideNumber</strong>     'returns 11



End With
