I am looking for a countdown timer in Powerpoint that is customizable for
each slide. I want it to show how much time remains until the next slide
appears. It blows my mind that this does not exist in Powerpoint.

I want my presentations to last exactly one hour. But, I spend different
amounts of time on each slide. I want to customize each slide with a
different countdown timer. With a countdown timer, I will know how much time
I have before I need to move on and talk about the next slide. The closest I
found was located here http://rappinrobot.com/2008/03/timer-add-in.html, but
I do not know how to set it up. Can some genuis figure this out for easy
installation?

First I think the Module and Class downloads are the wrong way round! The one
labelled module seems to be a a class module and vice versa

Make sure macro security is Medium or lower

1.Copy the CLASS text and in PowerPoint Alt + f11 > Inset MODULE and paste
it in.
2.Copy the MODULE text from the site and in the vbe (Alt + f11) insert a new
CLASS MODULE and paste in the text
3.Save as a powerpoint addin *.ppa.
4. Tools > AddIns > Add New
5. In Tools AddIns tick or untick to activate / deactivate

You might want to look at the PowerPoint Add In FAQ here
