How to view next slide and speaker notes in PPT?

[WFN]

I am using MS Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition. I would like to add
speaker's notes that are different from the slide content and view them on my
monitor while projecting and controlling the slide animations. I would also
like to be able to see the next slide or series of upcoming slides. Is there
a way to do this?

Yes,
Look up 'dual monitor' in the Powerpoint Help file using the Answer
Wizard tab. Some related topics are:
-About running a presentation on two monitors
-Turn on dual monitor support
-Set up a presentation to run on a second
monitor
-Run a presentation on two monitors
-Troubleshoot running a presentation on more
than one monitor

I don't use the presenter view, so I do not
'Select the Show Presenter View check box'.

And I make sure my window is set to 'Normal'
(one of the icons on the lower left)

When I train someone, I remind them to consider the 'slide show window'
as another program: 1) It shows up in the taskbar
2) If you click on the window where you view the speakers notes, any
keystrokes will not advance the slideshow.

Also, look up 'Slide show keyboard shortcuts'

Apologies if this is a stupid question. (I really new at PPT (2003)
but learning.)
Why don't you use "presenter view"? I haven't tried it, but just in
looking at it, it would seem to have some advantages. The fact that
you don't use it means to me that there must be some downside. Could
you give a brief explanation or refer me?
Thanks.

Hi Jack,
No apologies needed, my motto is "there is no stupid question, unless
you repeat it a dozen times." Glad you asked that question, here is my
short list:
1. At home I have only 1 screen so I can't practice with "P V", same
with work.
2. At church with a dual monitor, I am not able to see several slides
at a time, ala 'slide sorter' view, just an interface that kinda looks
like normal 'slide edit' view
3. function keys, arrow keys and the number keypad work better for me
during a slide-show than the mouse (to jump to a random slide number
without "P V" type the slide number and press <Enter> , in "P V" you
click it)

Thanks for the reply. Seems as though I just need to try out the
various modes and see what fits for me. I'm a little befuddled looking
at in the abstract.
Again, I appreciate your thoughts.
