This is a nice addition to PowerPoint and a really well planned and implemented function – Resume.
Here is a presentation for a recent project. Note it has 14 slides.

Before closing the presentation, I am on slide #5.

When I reopen the presentation:
1. I am always viewing slide #1.
2. I have a message on the scroll bar informing me of the last slide I was looking at before the presentation was closed, along with the date and time.

I can choose to work on slide 1, manually go to any slide in the deck, or click the RESUME box and automatically be taken to that slide – in this case, slide #5
