SYMPTOMS
========

If a slide number placeholder is placed in the title or body text of a slide,
the "<#>" character is printed instead of the slide number if you print
the outline view.


WORKAROUND
==========

Print from any other view. When you print from another view, the slide number is
printed correctly.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design of Microsoft PowerPoint. When you print from outline
view, the slide number is automatically displayed in the left margin.
