With regard to the presenter mode in 2011, I’ve just run face-first into a new (to me) problem with it. In 2008, the last version of office we used in house, presenter mode included a nice, sizable sidebar with thumbnails. For something like supertitles for an opera (my current challenge), this was exceedingly handy, especially in a show where the performers are prone to some… skipping about, shall we say? In this latest version, we seem to be restricted to a dock-style bar at the lower edge, collapsing when not moused over. Has anyone had any luck resizing or even locking that thumbnail bar in place? In order for it to be useful, as the old one was, it would be really handy if it were locked, resizable and multitouch scrollable – all things the old sidebar did well, and things I have had no luck convincing 2011 to do for me.
