The header and footer command lets you customize your slides
adding a header, a footer, the slide number and the date (which
can be updated automatically).
You access this option by clicking on "View" >>
"Header and footer" as you do in Microsoft Word.
In the latest version of PowerPoint (XP) you have two tabs
("Slide" and "Notes and handouts"), the same you can
find in the previous versions (97 and 2000). The only difference is
that in the XP version of this box you have the possibility
to choose a different "Calendar type" for the date.
The date can be fixed (you will type it) or can be updated
automatically. In this case you can also set the language you
want to use to display the format of the date.
You can also decide not to show all the info from the header
and footer on the title slide (like in Word you can choose not
to show the page number in the first page of the document).
For what it concerns the "Slide" tab, you can decide whether
you want to apply the header and footer only to the current
slide or to all the slides.
