In my case, I like how the previous version of powerpoint's presenter view
had a coming up next section for the next bullet or slide title, whichever
applied.

Someone else asked about this a while ago. I came up with a little macro
that puts a bar at the bottom of each slide with the title of the next
slide. If you put this macro into your presentation, you can put a button
on the first slide. When you click the button, it puts a "footer" on each
slide with the title of the next slide in it. Here's the macro:
Sub Footerize()
Dim i As Long
Dim shp As Shape
Dim hasFooter As Boolean
Dim newFooterBox As Shape
For i = 1 To ActivePresentation.Slides.Count - 1
hasFooter = False
For Each shp In ActivePresentation.Slides(i).Shapes
If shp.Name = "MyVeryOwnFooter" Then
hasFooter = True
End If
Next
If hasFooter = True Then
ActivePresentation.Slides(i).Shapes("MyVeryOwnFooter") _
.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = _
ActivePresentation.Slides(i + 1).Shapes(1) _
.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Else
Set newFooterBox = _
ActivePresentation.Slides(i).Shapes.AddShape _
(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0#, 504#, 720#, 28.875)
newFooterBox.Name = "MyVeryOwnFooter"
newFooterBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = _
ActivePresentation.Slides(i + 1).Shapes(1) _
.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
newFooterBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 10
newFooterBox.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment _
= ppAlignCenter
End If
Next i
End Sub
Of course, this only works well if the title placeholder is used for each
slide. Also, the color, size, and location of the "footer" can be easily
changed to make it less obtrusive.
