Set Up a Presentation to Run on a Second Monitor

You must use a Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), or Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer and have dual-monitor hardware installed to use this procedure. Use this procedure to run a slide show on the full screen of a secondary monitor while you view the Presenter Tools on the primary monitor.
  1. On the Slide Show menu, click Set Up Show.
  2. Click to select the Show Presenter Tools check box.
  3. In the Show on list, click the monitor that you want the slide show to appear on, and then click OK.

  • See what bullet or slide is coming next.
  • Pause the show by replacing the show with a black screen.
  • See a list of keyboard shortcuts.
  • Jump easily and directly to any slide.
  • Read or edit your speaker notes.
  • End the slide show.
