Using PowerPoint Presenter View Handout
When you wanted to customize your presentation in the past, you could use a Custom slide show - which slides should I use? - but you had to choose in advance - or you could use Hidden slides which you could include if you needed.
It would be nice to modify your presentation "on the fly", the Presentation View is a much improved way of doing this.
The Presenter View uses two monitors: one display for the presenter, and a projector slide show for the audience.
You see, as a presenter, thumbnails of slides to move out of sequence - and you can customize your presentation for your audience, or you can black out your screen.
Presenter view gives you a layout that shows you what's happening on the slide show on the left-hand side, your slide notes on the right hand side, and you can use the Zoom button here to make them more visible (without having to change the font size to something ridiculous).
We also have Previous and Next slide buttons. The Next button will actually show you the next slide and its notes or indeed the next bullet point on the slide.
Please note that the display on the left-hand side may lag the display on the overhead projector.
So as you give your presentation, you've got your slide notes to remind you of what your doing.
If somebody asks a question or depending on how the presentation goes, you have a ribbon at the bottom which shows you your slides, with previews of them and pop-up tool tips of their titles, so if you wish you can tailor your presentation, jump to a particular slide [by clicking its thumbnail] and go straight there.
Also if I right-click the Slide Show option I can use Next and Previous, Go To a particular Slide, or change the Screen to a Black Screen or a White Screen or temporarily Switch Programs, or I can End the Show [at the bottom].
We can open Pointer Options and highlight things on the screen, should we so desire. [Selects Highlighter] [Moves mouse pointer so far right it disappears from the screen]
All I do then is move my mouse cursor to the right, and as it disappears off the right-hand edge of my screen it appears on the Overhead Projector and I can start using a highlighter to start annotating my slides [Moves mouse left until it reappears on this screen - deselects Highlighter] Move back. When I've finished I can end the show.
