Presenting with Two Screens Using Presenter View

Presenter View is a special view of the presentation that is available only on systems with more than one monitor, and only where you have selected the Show Presenter View check box in the Set Up Show dialog box, as described in the preceding section. This view provides many useful tools for managing the show behind-the-scenes, as shown in Figure 26-15. It appears automatically on the non-audience monitor when you enter Slide Show view, and includes the following features:

  • At the bottom of the screen is a pane containing thumbnail images of each slide. You can jump to a slide by selecting it here. You can also move between slides by using the large left- and rightarrow buttons.
  • The speaker notes for each slide appear in the right pane. You cannot edit them from here, however. Zoom buttons appear below the speaker notes pane, so you can zoom in and out on the notes.
  • A Time and Duration display appears below the current slide. It tells you the current time and how long you have been talking.
  • The panes are adjustable by dragging the dividers between them, so you can have larger thumbnails, a smaller slide display, more or less room for notes, and so on.

Presenter View provides tools for helping you manage your slideshow from a second monitor.

Presenter View does not have all of the features that you have learned about so far in Slide Show view. However, keep in mind that the audience’s monitor is still active and available for your use! Because you extended the desktop onto the second monitor, you can simply move the mouse pointer onto the audience’s display and then use the buttons in the corner (or the right-click menu) as you normally would.
