The moment you add a Slide Number to your slides in Normal view, you expect to see them immediately thereafter. However many times you may not see any Slide Number – or worse, you may see the Slide Number in just a few of the slides! To remedy this situation, you have to ensure that both the Slide Master and the Slide Layout for any given slide does contain the Slide Master placeholder – this is something you can do only within Slide Master view, as explained within this tutorial.

In a chart, the Plot Area is the layer placed between the Chart Area and other chart elements such as Data Series and Gridlines. This layer typically also has the axes on its perimeter. Typically the Plot Area looks as if it is merged into the Chart Area because it is often transparent, and you can see the Chart Area through it. So, you may not be able to distinguish it from the Chart Area. This default status works well. However, you can format the Plot Area separately to highlight it. You can change its appearance by applying fills, borders, and effects with just a few clicks.
