2007 Powerpoint Footer Won't Display

PowerPoint 2007 is a slide show and presentation program released in 2006 as part of the Office 2007 software suite. PowerPoint allows users to create presentations and slide shows from scratch, or with pre-formatted templates. These files may then be customized using a variety of text, image and object editing features. As with other Office productivity programs, headers and footers may be added to the presentation or slide show. You can display the footer in PowerPoint 2007 documents by following a few steps.

• 1

  Open the PowerPoint file that contains the footer you want to display. Click the "Office" button and select the "Open" option. Use the drop-down arrows in the address bar of the "Open" dialogue window to locate the folder in which the PowerPoint file is saved. Select the file and click the "Open" button.

  Access the "Header and Footer" dialogue box. Locate the "Insert" tab and click the "Header & Footer" link in the "Text" section. This action will launch a separate dialogue window.

  Select the "Slide" tab on the "Header and Footer" window. Click the box next to the "Footer" listing to display the footer. To display the footer on all slides in the presentation, click the "Apply to All" button on the "Header and Footer" window. To display the footer on only the current slide, click the "Apply" button. To prevent the footer from displaying on the title slide, click the box next to the "Don't show on title slide" listing.
