This function is also in PowerPoint XP, the version prior to 2003.

You forgot to mention that depending on the laptop you’ll need to extend the desktop in order for the computer to mirror properly.

You can get presenter view to work with one screen with a trick described here: [lucidhacks.blogspot.com]

Nice feature but it doesn’t allow you to practice in presenter view if you dont have another monitor connected. I just want to see presenter view on one screen so im prepared when I do connect my other monitor.

The latest Presenters View has some serious shortcomings compared to 2003. They removed the “next up” window that let you know abou the next slide or animation. They made scolling through notes and animations much harder. Before arrows ran the animations and page up/page down scrolled the notes. Now you have to be on the section to perform the functions. The normal screen lets you write notes and add enhancements but none of the enhancements show up in presenters view. For complicated lectures you need to put cues in your notes as to the animation and they really don’t have a good method for doing this. In 2007 you do get bigger note fonts.

It’s actually one of my favorite features in PowerPoint, and I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t written about it on the site before. I’m glad that it will be useful for you guys!

Oooooh yeah, I forgot about that feature…. I used to use PowerPoint a lot a while ago, and in my last job I didn’t have much use for it. In my new job, I began using it again, and forgot all about this view. Thanks a LOT for the reminder!!
