Change the numbering style throughout a presentation

If you're using one slide master, you can change the numbering style on the master and the change is reflected throughout the presentation. If you are using multiple slide masters (such as when you have applied more than one design template to your presentation), you must change the numbering style on each master.
  1. On the View menu, point to Master, and then click Slide Master.
  2. On the slide master, select the body text levels to which you want to apply the numbering style. 
  3. On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering.
  4. On the Numbered tab, do any of the following:
  5. On the Slide Master View toolbar, click Close Master View.

Note   If, before you changed the master styles, you changed the numbering style on any slides in your presentation, those changes won't be affected by style changes to the master.
