Partially projecting PowerPoint Slides?

[Ed Gonsalves]

Hi
Is it possible to project onto a lecture overhead only part of what I am viewing on my desktop/laptop screen? In particular I wish to scan my notes on the desktop (and numerous supporting examples that suppprt the bullet point) without the students actually watching me go through this on the overhead screen. I do not wish to distract them from the thread of the presentation...yet allow myself to dip in and out of notes as recall aids for myself
Kind regard

Ed,

Yes there is (sort of). However, I always feel compelled to mention that
all of the technological advances made by PowerPoint can in NO way overpower
the skills of the presenter knowing his/her material and being ready to
present! With that said, here are a couple of links that explain the
Presenter View of the newer versions of PowerPoint and the ability to view
Notes on one monitor while presenting the slide show on the other:

Remember, spend the time to know your material COLD before you present it.
Also, press the F1 key while in Slide Show mode (while you're testing your
presentation at your desk) to learn all the helpful keys available to make
you the "Master of your Presentation"! There is NO substitution for
preparation!

Thanks Bil

I'll try this...and the advice is welcome too. My key problem is recalling more that 30% of examples that I have when drawing up the presentation...if I could design associative triggers onto MY (non-ohead) screen, that'd be great: so hopefully I'll get to play around and see if I can sketch thought bubbles (as flag notes) on my show at some point- whilst not obstructing the students'- this seems to be more akin to the way we think
