All slide numbers are identical in HTML images

If the Slide Number placeholder on the Slide Master has been reformatted extensively, it may get "broken" such that PPT recognizes it but PPT2HTML doesn't.

Result: all slides get numbered the same, apparently whatever the starting number is in Page Setup.

We've added code that attempts to detect and repair this problem automatically, but it may not always detect the problem. If you find a particular presentation has this problem, here's how you can repair it:

• Choose View, Master, Slide Master to go to the Slide Master.
• Select and delete the Slide Number placeholder (the one that looks like <#> )
• Choose Format, Master and in the dialog box that comes up, put a checkmark next to Slide Number, then click OK.
• Do the same for the Title Master if necessary.
• Return to Normal or Slide view, save the presentation and try making HTML again. The numbers should now work as expected.
