SYMPTOMS

When you print handout pages in Microsoft PowerPoint, and you select a range of slides to print (for example, slides 11-20), PowerPoint starts numbering the handout pages from 1 instead of starting at the first handout page in the slide range.

CAUSE

Page numbering is a built-in feature in PowerPoint that cannot be changed.

WORKAROUND

You can use the custom page numbering features in Microsoft Word to print your PowerPoint slides. The following steps require that both Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word be installed on your system.
  1. Inside PowerPoint, click File, point to Send To, and then click Microsoft Word.
  2. Select one of the specified page layouts, and then click OK.
  3. Print your range of slides from within Microsoft Word.
