Slide numbers and total number of slides in editor and presenter views
While editing my presentation I don’t know how many slides there are and so I cannot calculate how long my presentation is going to take and where I am in relation to it.
Similarly, the presenter display does not have the current slide and total slide numbers so I cannot see how much more I have left. It is the combination of this information and the countdown timer that let’s me orient my timing when presenting in Keynote.

On the View tab, in the Master Views group, click Slide Master, and then click the slide master thumbnail. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Text Box, and then drag to draw the text box on the slide master where you want the slide number to appear all slides. https://www.myprepaidcenter.bid/

I noticed you can find the total number of slides in the content summary (… → View Content Summary). Still haven’t been able to find which slide I’m on in the editor though (e.g., 56 of 168).

Ah, custom CSS doesn’t work for the presenter display. The reason the progress back overrides work is because those elements are part of the presentation itself.
I’ll open a separate issue for having custom CSS for the presenter display.

I just realised that custom CSS also works for the presenter display (wooghoo!) – so you can style the progress indicator (and anything else, I guess) on that screen.
To make the progress indicator unmissable on stage, I’m using the following CSS:
/*
Progress bar: set its colour and height so it can easily be
seen from further away on stage when presenting.
*/
.progress span {
background: #ff0000;
}.progress {
height: 2rem;
}So, I’d like to narrow this enhancement request to having the current slide and total slide numbers exposed in the editor view so that we can orient ourselves while preparing a presentation.
