How do I setup Microsoft PowerPoint Presenter View?

Microsoft PowerPoint Presenter View enables you to project the slides on the monitor while displaying the Slide Controls and Notes on the laptop.

Setup Dual Monitors for Projector - 1 for Projector, 1 for Laptop User
  1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties.
  2. Click on the Settings tab.
  3. Clicked on the second monitor (the one with the “2” on it).
  4. Check the box next to Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.
  5. Change the resolution for this second monitor so that it matches that of your 1st monitor - most likely 1280 x 1024.
You may now have to force your laptop computer to make use of this setting.  The method to invoke this will vary depending upon the laptop that you are using.  On a Dell Laptop, you will want to hold down the Function and F8 keys until you see the symbols displayed for Dual Monitors.  You will then want to let go of the keys which will switch to this mode.  You should now see a blank Windows Desktop on the projector and the normal Windows Desktop on the laptop.

  3. Select Display slide show on Monitor 2.
