Animation Numbers Do Not Appear in Powerpoint

So this was incredibly frustrating, I was editing a huge presentation and the animation numbers were not appearing in the slide. It turns out this is a weird known bug. But basically, if you download a powerpoint straight from the web and open it, sometimes it will not load the numbers. You need to close it an manually open it from explorer

Searching for Styles in Word

I was editing format for a proposal and apparently the editor is extremely specific about certain styles. In a huge 100+ page document, I needed to check how many times that style appears. It turns out you can do:

1. ctrl+f, click the down arrow and choose [Advanced Find]
2. Make sure the "Find what:" box is empty

5. Click on the Format Button, select the style and click okay, you will see it added that under the "Find what:" dialogue
