About Slide Numbering

There are three options for slide numbering

Sequential

This is the default method of slide numbering
Slides are consecutively numbered from 1 to X.
If you insert new slide blocks in between existing slide blocks, the numbering is automatically updated when you click Update All Fields on the LGPro ribbon.

Absolute

Choose this option if you want the slide numbering to represent the actual slide numbers as they are in their source PowerPoint file(s).

Restart by Module

Choose this option if you want the slide numbering to begin at 1 and continue sequentially within each Module.
Helpful when each of the Modules in your course have unique slide decks supporting them.

Step 1:

Click Parts on the LGPro ribbon

To get started:

Click Parts in the Customize group on the LGPro ribbon
Click LeaderGuide Pro Preferences in the drop-down menu
This will open the LGPro Preferences wizard

Step 2:

Use the Preferences wizard

To change your preference:

Select the Preference you need in the Preferences dialog box

Preferences - Slide Numbering small

Step 3:

Apply your Change

To apply your change:

Click OK in the lower right corner of the Preferences wizard
Click Close in the lower right corner of the Preferences wizard

Preferences Wizard small

Your new Preference will apply to all new guidebooks you create
Your new Preference will NOT affect existing guidebooks

To update slide numbering:

If you add PPT Blocks from the LGPro ribbon, or if you delete or reorder PPT Blocks:

Click Update All Fields in the Controls group on the LGPro ribbon

Update All Fields on LeaderGuide Pro ribbon

Do NOT manually adjust the slide numbers

Manually changing the slide numbers will interfer with the automated LeaderGuide Pro Update All Fields function for those PPT Blocks.

Because this will negatively impact LGPro functionality, please do not:

Delete the Slide Numbers added by LeaderGuide Pro
Manually edit the Slide Numbers added by LeaderGuide Pro

To recover the Slide Numbering functionality

If someone accidentally removes or manually changes a slide number added by LeaderGuide Pro:

Place your cursor in the trouble PPT block
Click Instructor-led (ILT) in the Content Blocks group on the LGPro ribbon
Click PPT Slide in the drop-down menu to insert a new PPT block below the existing troubled PPT block
Pull the slide image down into the new PPT block
Place your cursor back in the trouble PPT block
Click Delete Table Row in the Text/Table Formatting group on the LGPro ribbon
Click Update All Fields in the Controls group on the LGPro ribbon

Colleagues reviewing or editing your file will not know what you know.

When sharing a LeaderGuide Pro file with those who do not know how to use LeaderGuide Pro:

Keep a master copy of the file
Share only a copy of the master file
This way you can more quickly recover from errors that might be made inadvertently by non-LeaderGuide Pro users.

Create a test facilitator guide with a few slides to get used to working with slides.

Taking the time to learn how to work with slides will save time and eliminate headaches. And it will help you create training materials that are easy to maintain and update.
