'Usage

int FirstSlideNumber { get; set; }
Property Value

Remarks
The slide number is the actual number that will appear in the lower-right corner of the slide when you display slide numbers. This number is determined by the number (order) 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 will always be equal to the starting slide number + the slide index number – 1. The SlideNumber property returns the slide number.
Examples
This example shows how changing the first slide number in the active presentation affects the slide number of a specific slide.
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).SlideNumber 'returns 11
