Is it possible to diagonally cut the rectangle into two triangles and put the logo into one side and insert page number on another half triangle. Put them in header..

I have office 2010, and 120 slides, using textbox, now how do I change slide numbers once at all instead do manual each????

How do I add a leading 0 for single digit page numbers i.e - 01,02,03 that disappears when it changes to double digits i.e 13,14,15 pls?

[@artofpresentations]

Good question! There is currently no way to ensure that the 0 automatically disappears when you move onto double digits. But, you can achieve this with a bit of a manual work. To do so, follow the method 2 described in my video. It starts at 8:16. Once you have added the text box, just make sure that you type in a "0" first. Then, make sure that your cursor is placed after the "0" (to its right). Next, follow the remaining steps mentioned in the 2nd method i.e. click on Insert > Slide Number. Once you've done this, just copy and paste the text box on the first 9 slides. From the 10th slide, remove the "0" from the text box. Make sure to use the revised text box for slide 10th and onwards. If you re-order the slides, just remember to correct the slide number boxes too. Hope this helps. All the best!

[@artofpresentations]

Just select the text box and tap the delete or backspace key on your keyboard

Solution works, but did you really have to make such a long video to show something that could have been done in 30 seconds? It takes ages just to get to the interesting part...
