howto: How can I make a slide number and date show up in power point

http://www.fgcu.edu/support/office2000/ppt/master.html

When I try to change the master slide, date and the slide number just doesn't show up.

Looks like you have to select the header/footer menu while you are on the master slide and then you have to select the appropriate boxes to show.
