Beamer Frame Number

[Sam]

Hi,

I don't want to include some frames of my beamer presentation in the total frame count. How can I achieve this?

Please help. It's quite urgent

Fix #6 Add option to stop frame numbering after a slide. The key is noframenumbering, but it might change for consistency before release happens.

Check your version documentation: this may already be there. If not, just use normal LaTeX to change the counter in those frames you don't want counted:

\addtocounter{framecounter}{-1}

Hi,

I have already added that option and frame number is not appearing on those frames. But what I want to have is - in every frame, frame number is hown as:

\insertframenumber{}/\inserttotalframenumber

This  \inserttotalframenumber  command is counting all the frames; but I want those frames which do not have any frame number should not be counted (As those are my back up slides and I don't want the audience to be scared by seeing the unnecessary frame count.

Please suggest.

According to beamerbasemisc.sty, \inserttotalframenumber simply reproduces the value of the framenumber counter. I mistyped the command I suggested at the bottom of my previous message: it should have said:

\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}

That will decrease the counter by 1.
