PowerPoint slide number changes when pasted into Word

I don't see this particular issue in any of the posts.  I apologize if it has been answered; please point me


This is MSO 2013 on Win8 (64bit)


I have a PPT presentation.  I have put the slide number in the lower right corner of each slide using the Insert.  The slide numbers are correct; if I move a slide within the deck, its number changes correctly (and all other slides' numbers change correctly)


I right-click-copy an individual slide and paste-special (picture enhanced metafile) into a Word document.  The slide looks fine, but the slide number in the lower right corner of the slide is changed.  It doesn't matter which 'special' paste format I use, nor does it matter where in the Word document I paste the slide; the number is changed.


If I right-click-copy, paste-special a different slide, its number is also changed, but not to the same number as the first slide. 


If I paste-special the slide into a different Word document, its number is changed to the same value as when pasted into the first Word document.


I have to assume it has something to do with the way that I'm specifying the slide number, but I'm following the instructions,  namely:

 - while viewing the slide, click Insert.  Select Slide number.  on the picture, check slide number, then Apply to All


I have to say that this did not happen with MSO 2007 on Win 7 (64) which was my previous platform.  Both the PPT deck and the Word document were originally created on that platform and moved to the new platform.


thanks,
