Continue Auto Numbering Throughout Entire Presentation
If I have some numbered items using the auto bullets and numbering function, how can I make it so that if I want to add a numbered item on one slide, the next slide's numbers will update too. For example:
On Slide 1 1. Something 2. more of something 3. and then some On Slide 2 4. Stuff on slide 2 5. more stuff If I were to add an item to Slide 1, I get this result: On Slide 1 1. Something 2. more of something 3. and then some 4. I added something On Slide 2 4. Stuff on slide 2 5. more stuff I want slide 2 to update to this, automatically: On Slide 2 5. Stuff on slide 2 6. more stuff Thoughts? |

Don't think there's a built in automatic way to do this.
You can set the start number though using Numbering drop menu on Ribbon >> Bullet & Numbering |

I ended up doing that but I have 50 slides. Next time I want to add a numbered item to slide 1, I have to change the start number on 49 slides, lame.

The problem would be PowerPoint knowing exactly how you number - There are a lot of possible variables. If the numbering is straightforward you MIGHT be able to use code like this:
Code:
Sub renum() Dim num As Long Dim osld As Slide Dim oshp As Shape num = num + 1 For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides For Each oshp In osld.Shapes If oshp.HasTextFrame Then If oshp.TextFrame.HasText Then If oshp.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Type = ppBulletNumbered Then With oshp.TextFrame.TextRange .ParagraphFormat.Bullet.StartValue = num num = num + .Paragraphs.Count - 1 End With End If End If End If Next oshp Next osld End Sub |
