choose slides to display during presentation

[tony h]

As a presenter I have a number of slides that do not form part of the
expected presentation but which I may want to use if the discussion in
the room is interested.

So what I would like to do is be able to find the slide I want to
display on my laptop screen without it being visible on the projector
and then make that slide appear on the projector.

I have tried set-up show which allows me to have the slide show
presentation on the projector while reviewing the whole ppt. But I
can't find a way of (having found the next slide I want to appear on
the projector) actually making it appear.

Help would be appreciated

From your question, I believe you are probably a 2003 user, as it sounds like
you are using Presenter View. If not, go to Slide Show, Set-up Show and then
under "Multiple Monitors", you must have multiple monitors...you will use
Presenter View. Then, having set that up, as you are viewing the presenter
view, say on your laptop, while the show is displayed say on a screen, you
should just be able to double-click on the slide that you want to show next,
and it would jump to that one, if I remember correctly. I hope this helps.

Hi thanks for the help but I can't get it working.

I am on 200 running XP
I have the slide show displaying on the projector and the normal view
on my laptop. If I select a new slide from the normal view it shows in
the normal view and nothing (that I have found) will induce it to
display on the projector. Double clicking etc only brings it up on the
normal screen.

Basically it seems that if the mouse is active on the projector screen
it will only accept projector type inputs page up/down left/right mouse
click - both the projector screen and the normal screen navigate to the
new slide . If the mouse is active on the Normal screen actions only
affect the normal screen.

It would be really useful to get this working so any help is much
appreciated.

Anthony
