How do I insert slides without changing numbering of existing slid

[Block 98]

In a standard presentation with slide number displayed in header/footer can I
insert un-numbered slide(s) without incrementing the numbers of slides that
follow. I can insert slides and suppress the number for those but the
following slide numbers increase.
What I want to be able to do is insert a few extra slides between say slides
47 and 48 so that the original slide 48 stays slide 48 (and all subsequent
slides keep the same numbers they had before).
Any ideas would be welcome

One possible idea is to do this with a custom show (I'm not sure if this
will work, but it might). You can put the slides in the order you want them
numbered and then add them to a custom show in any order. You might even be
able to use Side Show > Set Up Show to set the slide show to just play the
custom show. Alternatively, you could hyperlink to the custom show. It might
work. Give it a try.
