Can a parameter access the slide number?

Apr 28, 2013

I read all the threads on slide numbering.

This doesn't help. convincing our customers is not relevant in this case. 

In this project it makes sense to have numbering. Think of a jobaid, you was the ability to easily return to a specific "page" or data/ 

Was thinking -  slide numbering is property that each slide has anyway. We can define that it will appear in the menu as well. Can we access it? Allow a parameter\code to access it?

Thanks!

All I want to do is define the following:

Parameter X = value of slide number. 

So I will an automatic slide numbering, when defining this parameter on the slide master layout, or at least on each slide. 


To be honest it's still hard to tell what you want to actually achieve. Can you be more specific and explain fully?

Phil - did you get a new keyboard?

@Efrat - if you follow Phil's suggestion, you can put a text field on your master slide in the position where you want the numbers to appear.

%SlideNo%

Then on each slide you would have to add an "adjust variable" trigger to set the value to the number you want.

This is kind of a pain so I would suggest only doing it after you have finalized your screens.
