Odd & Even Footers in 2007 (NOTE this for version 2007)

You can easily have different footers on every slide in version 2007. Simply select a set of slides with ctrl click and Insert > Headers & Footers. Check "Footer", specify the text and APPLY (NOT Apply to All)

In this way you can get e.g. Odd and even page footers

If you do this often you might like to use vba code

See here for how to use vba

Sub odd_even()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim str_odd As String
Dim str_even As String
str_even = InputBox("Enter text for EVEN slide numbers")
str_odd = InputBox("Enter text for ODD slide numbers")
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
With osld.HeadersFooters.Footer
.Visible = True
If osld.SlideNumber / 2 = osld.SlideNumber \ 2 Then
.Text = str_even
Else
.Text = str_odd
End If
End With
Next osld
End Sub
