Read notes while presenting slide-show

[Jarryd]

Hi,

I am a complete novice to Powerpoint, so forgive me if this is a silly
question. I have a presentation that I will give next week. The
presentation will be made by connecting my laptop's second VGA controller to
an LCD projector. I have made notes for each slide in the slide show. What
I wanted to do was have the slide show display on the projector screen and
the notes on the laptop screen. So everyone sees my falshy slides while I
read off the laptop screen (rather than off cue cards). Is there anyway to
do this, or anything similar. I am sure you can see how this would be
helpful and so I thought some bright spark might have worked out how to make
it possible. I have already tried two instances of the presentation on an
extended desktop and it is too messy.

TIA,

Jarryd

Assuming the laptop supports multiple monitors

Slide Show > set up show > show slide show on secondary monitor
Tick presenter view

Did that answer the question / help?
