The Slide Show Footer

Our slide show footer has the date, company name, and slide number. But you can change these details.
To view the footer details, click View from the PowerPoint menu bar. From the View menu, click on Header and Footer:
The Header and Footer menu in PowerPoint
When you click Header and Footer, you'll see the following dialogue box appear:

If you don't want the Date to appear on every slide, uncheck the Date and time box. If you want the UK date format, select English (UK) from the Language dropdown. At the bottom of the dialogue box, you can also uncheck the Slide number box, to remove the slide numbers from the right hand side of each slide. If you don't want any text in the Footer, uncheck the Footer box.
To change the Footer text, simply type it out in the text box. If you don't want the Footer information on the first slide, but you do want it on all the others, uncheck the box that says "Don't show on title slide".
We've made a couple of changes to our Footer:

As you can see, we've decided not to have the date on the slides, and we've left out the slide number, too. We don't want the footer to appear on the first slide, so we've left the final box checked.
