Is there a way to see the list of slides while presenting
the slides in the show? When I present the show, I
either have to remember where the slides are, or, exit
the show, select the slide then click the button to start
the show at that point. I want to be able to see the
slides in the show in a separate window that the audience
does not see.
 
Hi,

Best I can think of is to print handouts at nine to a page so you have a
copy of slides plus their number. Then, when you want to go to that slide in
the slideshow, type in the number on the keyboard and hit <enter>. But you
have to have the slide number in the footer of the slide for this to work
best.

Regards,

Glen
 
The latter part isn't true. You don't need the slide number in the footer.
That isn't what it keys off. It keys off the internal slide number.

On the other hand, if Alan is using PowerPoint 2002, he can set PowerPoint
up for dual monitors and use the Presenter's View.

Sonia,

You are right. But he does need the slide number on the piece of paper to
know what number to enter on the keyboard? I guess that because that is what
I meant, it is what I should have said <g>.

While you are in the show, right-click and point to GO and then to either
Slide Titles or Slide Navigator. From there, you can see and click the slide
you want to go into.

If you want to print a simple list of the slides (with numbers) before the
show, change to the Outline view and then collapse all the points
(ALT+SHIFT+1). It will then just show titles. Then hit Print. In the Print
dialog box under Print What, choose Outline View. You'll have a neat list.
 
Oops, didn't catch your last sentence before I replied. If nothing else
works, the second idea is still a poor-man's secondary monitor. ;-)
 
The cool thing about Presenter's View is that you don't have to have a piece
of paper. You have all the thumbnails and you can browse them to find the
slide you want. It has it's drawbacks too. The Slide Show takes priority
and if your presentation is a resource hog and the processor isn't fast
enough or other resources are lacking, the Presenter's View can get behind.
This is most often seen with heavy multimedia presentations.

footer.

It's breath mint. No, it's a candy mint. No it's a ...

You're both right. For the slide numbers to appear on the 9-up printout so
you know what number to type at the keyboard, you need slide numbering
turned on. For "type the number and press enter" to work, you don't.

Now both of you kiss and make up or you're going to bed w/o your dinner.
 
Hey Bud, let Mr. Oz do his own tap dancing. It's so much fun to watch him,
but please don't make him go without dinner. His tummy's empty.

Shouldn't be, not with that great whacking fish he caught.
Of course if the fish story was a ... well ... fish story, that might not be
an earthquake I'm hearing after all. Somebody feed that boy some crackers
or sumpin.
 
Steve,

Next time I'll try to explain it better and Sonia won't then have to come in
and fix it for me;-)

Oh, btw, Steve. It's *lunch time*.

No it's dinner time. No, it's lunch. No.....

Glen

ROFLMHO!
 
No, it's time for the news and then sleep!
