In PowerPoint for the web you can insert footers and slide numbers for all slides in the presentation, single slides, or a set of selected slides.
When you insert footers and slide numbers in a presentation, their position on the slide depends on the design you're using. For example, in some slide designs footers may appear at the top of a slide as a header or along one side.
