As I do a lot of presentations I often use a presentation that I have not
used in a while.  Needless to say I do not always remember exacly what is
coming up.  I thought that it would be great to have a fewture that allows me
to see the upcoming slide on my PC screen while the audience is looking at
the big screen showing the slide that I am actually making reference to.

What do you guys think??

cheers

Presenter's View might serve your needs.  Have you tried it?  Go to Slide Show >
Set Up Show and set it to display the Presenter's View.

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.
