position slide numbers on all slides

I'm sure this is simple because it's so obvious. I just can't find the answer anywhere.

How does one re-position the slide numbers for every slide globally, preferably setting the new position as a default.


Thank you.

  • View > Edit Master Slides
  • select the slide master you want to use from the Navigator side panel
  • Slide > Show slide numbers on all slides
  • click the slide number to select
  • change the position, colour, font and size as needed
  • click the blue Done button bottom right
  • each time you add a new slide (slide > new slide) the slide number will show

Actually most appeared centered but some appeared off the live area to the right.


This is something of a patchwork from many sources but each piece of each Master has been carefully conformed and positioned... Slide numbers are coming in a bit after the fact.


It seems Masters with large media placeholders are throwing the slide numbers off the page and they are a larger font size as well. Once a slide number has been moved it doesn't seem to want to return to the default.


No way to make these consistent without doing them each one at a time?
