Powerpoint dual display question

I would like to know as well. Is there a sol'n for this now? (Yes, I know it's an old topic.)

 

If you want to display a full screen slide on a second monitor or projector, and have the slideshow controls on your primary monitor, that is quite straightforward. Open your presentation, click Slide Show>Set Up Show>(select show type)>Screen. "Screen" is a button at the bottom of the "Set Up Show" dialogue. It will appear only if you have a second screen connected.

I presume that is what you want since that is what the Windows Powerpoint article was about.

 

Try this:

In PowerPoint 2004:

Click the View Menu > Presenter Tools

That's the built-in dual-display capability in PowerPoint of that I know.

edit: I thought you meant dual-display such as that in Song Show Plus or MediaShout.

New PowerPoint Dual-display problems

When I try to use the new Office 11 PowerPoint, it briefly flashes into the presenter screen and then it inverts to where I am looking at the presentation, and the projector is showing the presenter view. The button to reverse which screen is displayed is only on the projected image which I do not have keyboard access to. I tried the same slideshow, using the same MacBook Pro, and the same projector and MS Office 2008, and it works like a charm. Any ideas? The preferences shows only one screen available to pick from in the set up.
