When running a presentation I'd like to see "Build 1 of 8, 2 of 8.

My company uses a lot of builds on their slides and it throws off the speaker
when they plan to move on to the next slide, but still have 2-3 builds left
on the current one. Is there a way to display the current build number in the
context of the total number of builds?
 
I don't know of an automatic way to do this, but you could do it
manually, especially if you are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003. You can
always have a text box animated with any object.

An easier thing to do that wouldn't be quite as effective, but would be
close is to put a next slide arrow on each slide. Have this animate with
(or right after the last animation). This way, you know the slide is not
finished building until you see the arrow.

I like your way the best David.

In code, you could figure out how many builds there are on a slide, and you
can capture each new build event, but you don't have a way to tell where you
are 'now' in that sequence. So it would fail the code if a presenter moved
backwards within the animation sequence of a slide because there would be no
way of programmatically knowing this.
