How to Correctly Insert Page Numbers in PowerPoint


What's the correct way to add PPT slide numbers? Isn't it just [Insert → Slide Number]? What's special?
However, have you noticed that doing this sometimes:
  1. It's added on the master, but the slide doesn't show it?
  2. Even if it's visible, how can you make the slide number harder to move? (Slide numbers usually share the same position and format on every slide.)
