How to Do Sequential Numbering in PowerPoint
The default way that text is "chunked" on a Microsoft PowerPoint slide may be solid black circle bullets, but you're not restricted to this kind of organization. Instead, take advantage of PowerPoint's sequential numbering. PowerPoint's sequential numbering is beneficial because it will reorder the numbering for you automatically should you remove or add lines, and you won't have to manually type the numbers or deal with text spacing.
