Is it possible to insert the total amount of slides in a PowerPoint presentation into a footnote? I'm looking for an automated way.
Of course I could edit the footer and put it in manually, but if I increase/decrease slides, it would be necessary to adjust it. And this is something that we always forget.
The help from Microsoft explains how to do it manually. I can't believe that PowerPoint doesn't have it…

If you're looking for an option or configuration setting that will just automatically add it to every presentation you create, there isn't one. However, if you edit the Header or Footer, you can automatically add slide numbers there and have them appear on all slides.
