I don't have the page number box clicked, but when I convert my PPT slides as handhouts to a PDF, the page number is still showing up. What's going on?
This will bring up aview showing the master handout format.
At the bottom right will be a box with Page Number or something like that. If you remove that then go "View - Normal" to get back to the normal view. When you come to print the page number should not be there.
