          Issue ID: 128052
        Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
           Summary: Set first slide number to something other than 1
           Product: Impress
           Version: 3.3.0 or older (OOo)
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux 64-bit
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: gerry.liebling@verizon.net
  Target Milestone: ---

My objective is to make an "album" of about 50 slides, containing many digital
photographs. Once I get past about 25 slides the file size gets too big and
unwieldy - like close to 100 MBytes. By dividing the album into two files I can
keep the size of each file to a more manageable level. But to be contiguous the
second file would have to start with slide 26 - which is the problem. Using a
master slide, Impress insists on starting each file with slide number 1.

In my younger, working days, my employer required that I use Microsoft Windows
and Powerpoint. In Powerpoint, on the slide setup form there is an entry field
for specifying the starting slide number. The default is 1, but it can be
changed just by entering the desired number.

Now, in my older and wiser retired days, I avoid all things Microsoft and stick
to Linux and Open Office. But not being able to specify a starting slide number
in Impress is a deficiency. 

I am aware that I can change the slide name, but the number printed as the page
number always starts with 1.

I agree that this is a duplicate of 12219.  But note the original date of 12219
- 2003!!!

This may not be the highest priority - but 16 YEARS?  It can't be that
difficult.  If Microsoft can do it in Powerpoint, why can't OO?
