How Presenter View can help your Powerpoint presentations

In can be distracting for the viewers when the screen is flipping around.  Even with the most polished and practiced crew, you may find yourself doing the slideshow shuffle -- scrolling back and forth trying to find what slide one should currently be.  Fortunately, the solution is already built in.

• To View all the slides in your presentation, click See all slides.  (Image is based on Office 2013)

 

 TIP    You’ll see thumbnails of all the slides in your presentation (as shown below), making it easy to jump to a specific slide in the show.

Three reasons to use Presenter View for churches:

1. Ability to skip to any slide in any sequence.  (Helps find the right slide quickly.)
2. Ability to see upcoming slides.  (Increases confidence)
3. Ability to add and view notes

Office 2013 automates this.  If you don't have it, please make sure you have multi-monitor setup, and set it on presenter view in the settings.

Presenter View automatically extends to the projector or external monitor, however, if you want to switch monitors you can.

 TIP    To manually determine which computer will display your notes in Presenter View and which will face the audience (Slide Show View), on the task bar, at the top of Presenter View, click Display Settings, and then click Swap Presenter View and Slide Show.
