Formatting all slide numbers in Keynote

Previous answers were not helpful (manually changing on each slide). Here's what I learned.


Turns on Slide Number for all slides.


Select the slide number on a slide and change the font size, color, position, etc.


Click SAVE for the Slide Number style.


This will change the format of the slide number on all slides.

I am unable to understand your method of changing the format of slide numbers on all slides

There is no save in Format Styles, the only option is; create a new Paragraph Style

this does not change all slide numbers in the presentation



The established way to format slide numbers on all slides is:


  1. Add a slide number to all existing slides: Slide > Show Slide Numbers
  2. go to: View > Edit Slide Layouts
  3. in slide layouts, select the slide number then change the size position colour and font and other attributes
  4. click the Done button to return to the presentation
