Slide numbering

Hello,

I would like to simply start my screen numbering from 1 after a Title screen.

I have tried subtracting from this system variable: $$cpInfoCurrentSlide$$

Like so:

$$cpInfoCurrentSlide$$-1

$$cpInfoCurrentSlide$$-‘1’

$$cpInfoCurrentSlide-1$$

But nothing seems to work.

Thanks.

I would define a user variable v_slide. Insert it on the Main Master slide: the TItle slide itself is defined NOT to use objects from the Main Master slide, so you’ll have that variable only on all the other slides, based on any content slide using objects from the Main Master slide. You may have to check that.
You have to use the Expression command to calculate the correct value of v_slide because that command is not available as simple action. Create an advanced action EnterSlide with two commands:
Expression v_slide = cpInfoCurrentSlide – 1
Continue
Then select all the slides in the Filmstrip, (Title slide may be included) with CTRL-A and use the On Enter event in the Actions tab to assign that advanced action.

hi Barry
Great question. Try this. Quick video to show a workaround. I’m sure there are plenty of ways to achieve this.
