SUMMARY
To display the current slide number and total number of slides in PowerPoint, users must utilize the Header/Footer feature found in the View menu. In Office 2007 and later versions, this requires accessing the Slide Master to ensure footers are visible. While the Header/Footer option allows for the inclusion of the current slide number, it does not automatically display the total number of slides. Users must manually add the total slide count to achieve the desired format of "current slide/total slides".
