speaker notes and Presentation

S

Steve Porter

Is it possible for the presenter to view his/her speaker
notes in the presentation on the same laptop that is
connected to the projector?? This obviates the necessity
of printing off the slides with the speaker notes for the
speaker to read/refer to while presenting.

Hello Steve,

Assuming that your computer has the necessary hardware and software for
support of multiple, independent displays AND your display control panel
has be correctly configured to enable that functionality, the Presenter
View feature in PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 is designed to allow the presenter
to provide various slide show control and management features (such as
displaying speaker notes) which are invisible to the audience viewing the
slide show on the independent external display.

For more information see the online help topic "Presenter View: Tools for
running a PowerPoint presentation":

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
PowerPoint's presenter tools (such as Presenter View in PowerPoint 2002 and
2003) might be improved to support this scenario, don't forget to send your
feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
