PowerPoint 2002 Transition

I was a bit disappointed by the transition provided by PowerPoint 2002. It's not bad, but some transition can be better. For instance, it would be nice that if the transition remembers whether the user is moving back to the last slide and moving to next slide, so that for the "Push Form " transition, moving back to the previous slide can map to "push from left edge" and move to next slide can map to "push from right edge". Doing so can nicely create an illusion that all the slides are a big roll of film, and the presenter simply rolling the slides from one end to the other end of the big roll. Apple does a better job on creating presentation transition gimmick on their presentation product. Hope Microsoft can learn from their competitor as soon as possible.
