Presenter view

By using two monitors, you can run your Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation from one monitor (at a podium, for example) while your audience views it on the second monitor. Presenter view offers the following tools to make it easier for you to present information:

  • You can use thumbnails to select slides out of sequence and create a customized presentation for your audience.
  • Preview text shows you what your next click will add to the screen, such as a new slide or the next bullet in a list.
  • Speaker’s notes are shown in large, clear type so that you can use them as a script for your presentation.
  • You can black out the screen during your presentation and then resume where you left off. For example, you might not want to display the slide content during a break or a question and answer period. 

Configure PowerPoint to use Presenter view

  1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Monitors group, click Use Presenter View   NOTE:   The Display Settings dialog box from Windows Control Panel may appear.  If it does not, see Microsoft Windows Help to locate your Windows Display Settings.
  2. In the Display Settings dialog box, on the Monitor tab, click the monitor icon that you want to use to view your speaker notes, and then select the This is my main monitor check box.  If the This is my main monitor check box is selected and unavailable, the monitor is already designated as the primary monitor.  You can select only one primary monitor at a time.  If you click a different monitor icon, the This is my main monitor check box is cleared and made available again.
  3. Click the monitor icon for the second monitor that the audience will view, select the Extend my Windows Desktop onto this monitor check box, and then click OK.
  4. On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show.
  5. In the Set Up Show dialog box, choose the options that you want, and then click OK.
  6. To begin delivering your presentation, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Show.
