PowerPoint has several views for viewing your presentation: Normal, Slide Sorter, Notes Pages, and Slide Show. One of these modes can be selected as the default. Each mode is designed to solve specific problems. To select the desired mode for working with a presentation, select a command from the View menu bar or click the corresponding mode button in the lower left corner of the main PowerPoint window.
Mode Normal
By default, when you create a new presentation or open an existing one, PowerPoint displays it in Normal view. This mode is the main one for editing slides, that is, filling the slide with text, pictures, diagrams and other objects, as well as for assigning animation effects to these objects.
In Normal mode, the window is divided into three work areas: Slide, Notes area and Presentation Structure area (Fig. 2.1). Also, by default, in this mode, three toolbars are displayed on the screen - Standard, Formatting And Drawing.
The Slide area displays the current or created slide in a fairly large format for easy editing and filling.
Below is an area for inserting a note or notes on the slide. This text does not appear on the slide itself, but it may be useful to the speaker during his presentation.
The Presentation Structure area is displayed on the left side of the screen. It consists of two tabs – Structure and Slides. By default, the Slides tab is displayed. On it, all the presentation slides are placed in a reduced size in a list, which allows you to quickly change their places if necessary. This is also convenient for activating the desired slide - just click the corresponding thumbnail slide on this tab, and the active slide will be displayed in the Slide area.
The Structure tab also displays the entire presentation, but each slide is represented by its title and the text it contains. Other objects (pictures, diagrams, etc.) are not displayed on the Structure tab. Questions about creating a presentation using the Structures tab are discussed in Chapter 8).
Tip: If necessary, you can resize screen areas by dragging their borders with the mouse.
Inserting and deleting slides
In Normal viewing mode, in addition to editing, you can add or delete slides.
To insert a new slide, do one of the following:
¨ Execute the Insert/Create Slide command;
¨ Click the New Slide button on the Formatting toolbar;
¨ Select the Create slide command from the context menu.
To delete a slide, select it in the Outlines area on the Slides tab and:
¨ press the Delete key;
¨ execute the command Edit/Delete slide;
¨ select the appropriate context menu command.
In any presentation viewing mode, there are several ways to move through the slides. A mouse and keyboard are used for this. In Normal mode there are following methods movements:
¨ Using the keys
¨ Using the scroll bar;
¨ By clicking on the slide thumbnails on the Slides tab in the Presentation Structures area;
¨ By clicking on the icon of the required slide next to its number on the Structure tab in the Presentation Structures area.
Using the Slide Sorter
Slide Sorter mode is the only mode that allows you to view all the slides in a presentation as thumbnails. This mode is similar to the Slides tab in Normal mode.
Upon completion of creating and editing a presentation, it is the Slide Sorter mode that gives a complete picture of the entire presentation, simplifying its reorganization (Fig. 3.1).
This mode allows you to perform the following tasks: change the order of slides, add and remove slides, manage slide transition effects, and preview slide transition animation effects.

Slide sorter
In mode Slide sorter an additional Slide Sorter toolbar is displayed (see Figure 3.2). This panel contains the following groups of buttons: the first three buttons - for hiding the slide, setting the slide display time and creating the final slide, the next group - for entering notes on the active slide, and the last group of buttons - for applying slide transition effects, for changing the design template slide and a button to create a slide.

Sorting slides in a presentation
To change the order of slides within a presentation, use the drag-and-drop method, i.e. Select the slide and, without releasing the left mouse button, move the slide to the desired location. In this case, a vertical bar (cursor) appears that follows the slide being moved. Having reached the desired location, release the mouse button and the slide will be inserted into the specified location. If you need to move a group of slides, select them using the Shift key (if the slides are in a row) or Ctrl (if the slides are out of order) and repeat the action described above.
Copying slides
Sometimes when creating a presentation you need to copy one or more slides. It is most convenient to do this in the Slide Sorter mode. First, select the slide or group of slides you want to copy and do one of the following:
¨ Execute the command Edit/Copy slide;
¨ Click on the button Copy on the toolbar Standard ;
¨ Press the keyboard shortcut
¨ Select a team Copy context menu.
¨ Performing any of these actions copies the slides to the clipboard. You can paste copied slides anywhere in your presentation by doing one of the following:
¨ Execute the command Edit/Paste ;
¨ Click the button Insert on the toolbar Standard ;
¨ Press the keyboard shortcut
¨ Select a team Insert context menu.
Navigate through presentation slides
In Slide Sorter mode, you move between slides using the mouse or cursor keys. Double-clicking a slide thumbnail opens it in Normal mode. If you can't see all the slides on the screen, use the scroll bar.
Inserting and deleting slides
Inserting new slides and deleting unnecessary slides in the Slide Sorter mode is similar to the Normal mode.
Hiding a slide
Sometimes, when preparing for a speech in front of a certain audience, it is necessary to show not all the slides of the presentation, or if the presentation is educational and there are slides with tests or questions, then it makes sense to create slides with the correct answers, but hide these slides while presenting the material.
You can hide a slide in both Normal and Slide Sorter modes. But in Slide Sorter mode, there is a button for this action on the Slide Sorter toolbar.
So, to hide a slide, follow these steps:
¨ Select the slides that you want to hide;
¨ Execute the Show slide/Hide slide command or use the button of the same name on the toolbar or select the context menu command.
A hidden slide in the Slide Sorter mode is indicated by a crossed out square on the number of the hidden slide.
To show a slide at the right time, select it and perform the same action as to hide the slide.
Controlling the slide transition effect
Using special transition effects between slides allows you to create a bright and memorable presentation. The application and use of smooth transition effects between slides allows the audience to tune in to the perception of new material in the interval between the removal of the current one and the appearance of the next slide. Issues of setting up slide transitions were discussed in detail in Chapter 4. As for the Slide Sorter viewing mode, it should be noted that it is in this mode that it is preferable to configure slide transition effects if you need to apply one effect to several slides.
To do this, select the desired slides using the Ctrl key and click the Change button on the Slide Sorter toolbar. This will open the Slide Change task pane. This panel looks the same as in Normal mode when executing the Slide Show/Slide Change command. Then proceed as described in Chapter 4.
When working in the Slide Sorter mode, you will see small effect icons under the thumbnails, by clicking on which you can see the selected slide change effect.
Tip: If the presentation is bright, then it is advisable to choose the effects of sudden slide changes. Gradual and smooth transitions are used for business and scientific presentations, i.e. more reserved.
Slide show mode
Slide show mode is special treatment presentation display, which allows you to view the presentation in full screen in action. It is important to know that if you select any of the presentation slides in any view mode, and then start Slide Show mode, the show will start from that slide, even if it is not the first slide in your presentation.
It should be noted that after enabling Slide Show mode, when you hover your mouse over the lower left corner of the screen, the Slide Show toolbar will be displayed there. The buttons on this panel are used to control the display of the presentation. You can also control the display in Slide Show mode through the context menu anywhere on the screen.
You can exit this mode by pressing the key
Tip: In addition to the methods mentioned above for turning on presentation viewing modes, you can turn on the Slide Show mode by pressing the key
Adding notes.
So, PowerPoint has another special mode for viewing a presentation - the Note Pages mode. This mode is intended directly for the presenter, namely for entering notes on presentation slides. This is the only mode that does not have a dedicated button on the mode bar. Therefore, you can switch to this mode only through the View/Notes Pages command. In principle, you remember that notes can also be entered in Normal mode in the notes area.
Note Pages mode displays a separate page, similar to a document page in MS Word, with a slide displayed at the top and a text entry area at the bottom. Text in notes can be formatted in the usual way using the Format menu command. You can also change the background of your notes by running Format/Note Background and selecting the background you want.
Rice. 3.3. Screen view in mode Notes pages
The text of the notes can be printed and used during the report.
Tip: You cannot edit a slide in Notes Page view.
Selecting Default Mode
If you select Default Mode, PowerPoint will always start in the default mode. To set the default mode, follow these steps:
¨ Execute the Tools/Options command and open the View tab;
¨ In the Default View dialog box, select the desired mode.
Rice. 3.4. Selecting a Default View Mode
Tip: By default, PowerPoint starts in Normal mode with open area Presentation structure. Changes to the size of areas in Normal mode or the mode itself are saved and subsequently played back along with the presentation in which the changes were made. However, these settings are not saved outside of the associated presentation. To set a default mode when you launch PowerPoint, follow the steps above.

Transfer a presentation to another computer
Save a presentation as a demo
When you give a presentation, you first have to load it into PowerPoint, and then start showing the presentation. Thus, you waste a little time, and the first slide is visible to the audience even before the start of the report. Thus, the beginning of the report is “stretched out,” which is bad.
Using a presentation in the form of a demonstration will help you avoid this: you double-click the file, and your presentation will launch immediately, bypassing the intermediate stage of loading into the program.
Presentation packaging
If your presentation contains audio and video files, then as we have already discussed, these files must be transferred along with the presentation, otherwise they will not play. We have already discussed one way: everything necessary files copy it to the folder with the presentation, and only then assign links to these files and copy the entire folder for transfer to another computer.
However, there is another approach.
You can achieve the same thing if you use presentation packaging.
Namely: click the File menu and select the command To wrap up.
The Packaging Wizard will open.
As you can see, here you can specify several presentations that you want to package. IN in this case We will only package the presentation we are working with.
DON'T WORRY, I WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING NOW!
Now you need to select the folder in which you will place your packaged presentation. It is better not to choose disk A: This is a floppy disk that has a relatively small capacity. In addition, recording to it is slow. And finally, if a failure occurs during recording, you will most likely have to start all over again.
So choose a folder on your computer!
In this case, using the button Review we used a pre-created folder and specified it as the “target drive”
In the next window, the option for which everything was started finally appears: Include linked files. Yes, of course and definitely!
In addition, if you used some rare fonts, then you need to “take them with you”. To do this, check the Embed True Type fonts box.
A very interesting window will open. It is claimed that you can download a special small program from the Microsoft website that will allow you to view presentations even on computers that do not have PowerPoint installed.
If you click the Download Viewer button, you will be sent to the Internet to the corresponding page on the Microsoft website (a fragment of the page is shown):
Click the button Download on this page (highlighted with a red frame) and save the file or INSTALL this program immediately. The program can be installed directly while PowerPoint is running and even while the Installation Wizard is running. In the latter case, AFTER installing the program, the Wizard window will change and take the form:
As you can see, the field has activated
After going through all the steps of the Download Wizard, click the button Ready. The presentation will be packaged in the folder you specified.
Open the folder in which you packaged the presentation.
You see that two files have appeared there. None of them are named after the title of the presentation. That's how it should be. As you can see, the total file size is just under 6 Megabytes. It is these two files that you must write to external media (CD) and take with you.
Unpacking the presentation
To unpack and run the presentation on another computer, create a special folder on the new computer and copy your files to it. The figure shows the placement of these files in a new folder on a new computer (the folder is named Progymnasium 1733)
To unzip the presentation you must double click the PNGSETUP file
A window will open Pack and GO Setup— which should mean (in this case) Unpacking and executing the archive.
Removal may take a few minutes, and you will be alerted if additional disks are required. Select the folder where the presentation will be unpacked.
As you can see, here we have selected the same folder where we copied our files. So the program asks us the question:
(Note: Please note that the actual size of the window in question will be different. In this case, we slightly changed the presentation form without changing the text - so that the entire window is visible in the browser window).
This folder is not empty! Unpacking the presentation into this directory will overwrite existing files with matching names. Are you sure you want to do this?
We answer with confidence Yes because there simply are no files with such names.
After unpacking is completed, an information message will appear: The presentation has been successfully unpacked into the folder. Do you want to run a slide show?
Let's say for now No and see what the changes are in the folder.
It can be seen that in addition to the previous files PNGSETUP and PRESO.PPZ, there were 4 more files extracted from PRESO.PPZ. In this case, the presentation file itself is written in the format Demonstration. You can click on this file and the presentation will run.
You have a problem on your computer, all files are opened by one program now. You didn’t seem to do anything like that, but something happened. Don't despair! Everything can always be fixed without reinstalling the Windows operating system.
You have a problem on your computer, all files are opened by one program now. You didn’t seem to do anything like that, but something happened. Don't despair!
A similar problem happened to a friend of mine at work, he calls on the phone and says: trouble, all programs are opening Windows Media Center. Well, everything became clear, this happened for one reason - you tried to open some kind of exe application (exe is a file extension) using Windows Media Center. After these actions, Windows Media Center became the default program for any exe application, as well as files associated with it.
A simple example: for all text txt files, the silent program will be Windows Notepad (notepad.exe). And since notepad is the same application as all others with the exe extension, that’s all text documents trying to open using Windows Media Center.
To solve this problem, you need to reset program settings to default and restore the original file associations with the desired programs.
- Download the archive from the site dirfreesoft.ru ResetFileAssociations.zip and unzip it. There we will find the default file association file with the reg extension.
- Next, double-click on the unpacked registry file and allow adding data to our Winodws registry.
Sometimes it happens that the file does not open on another computer
I want to make a reservation right away, this file only works for Windows 7. Don't try to use it for other versions of Windows!
- Rebooting the computer
Do not forget that those files that are not associated with any programs are just installed Windows 7 (let's say PSD, MKV) will not have an association. Then you will have to assign programs to these files manually (open with)
It may happen that when you double-click on the registry file, an error appears (WMC starts), then you should proceed as follows:
Right-click on the file and in the menu that appears, select Open with - Select program - Registry Editor.
We check that the checkbox is “Use the selected program for all files of this type” and click on the OK button.
If suddenly the registry editor is missing in the Select a program window, then you should click on the browse button, open Windows folder, find there and select the file regedit.exe and click on Open.
I hope this article helped solve your difficulties and answered your questions - what to do if all files are opened by one program? What to do if all files are opened with notepad? What should I do if all files are opened by Windows Media Center?

How to save a presentation so it can be opened on any computer
How to save a presentation as a video in PowerPoint
In PowerPoint 2013, you can save your presentation as a video (export to a video file). The video file format is convenient because it allows you to view the presentation on any computer. including those that do not have Microsoft Office installed.
In addition, video files can be viewed on computers controlled by other operating systems. as well as smartphones, tablets, etc. The only drawback is the file size. Compared to presentation files, video files are much larger in size. However, saving a presentation as a video is necessary in some cases, for example, for publishing on the Internet.
1. Click the File button. The menu of the same name will open.
2. From the File menu, select the Export command. The Export screen appears.
3. On the Export screen, select Create Video. The settings for the video being created will appear on the right side of the screen.
4. In the Display time for each slide field, enter the interval for changing slides (in a video file, there is no way to manually move from slide to slide unless you configure automatic change slides).
5. From the top drop-down list, select the resolution of the video you are creating. There are three options: 1280x720, 852x480 and 424x240 (For presentations with a 16:9 slide format). It should be remembered that the volume of the received video will depend on the resolution. But if the presentation is created for high-quality reproduction on big screens, I recommend choosing highest resolution. Low resolution is intended for playback on mobile devices.
6. In the lower drop-down list, you can select additional export options. Here you can allow or disable the recording of presentation narration in the video file, or allow the use of previously recorded slide display times.
7. Click the Create Video button. The standard Save Document dialog box appears.
8. In the dialog box that appears, navigate to the folder where you want to save the video file.
9. In the File name field, enter the name of the video file to be saved.
10. In the File type drop-down list, select the video file format. You can save the file to Windows formats Media or MPEG-4. In principle, both formats provide high video compression while maintaining image quality. So here it all depends on the device on which the video will be shown (some devices may not play a particular format).
Saving your presentation to a video file may take a few minutes. The duration of the process depends on the duration of the presentation and the speed of the computer.
With the help of these simple actions You can save your presentation as a video in PowerPoint 2013. The saved video file can be played on any computer or device with a built-in media player.
How to save a presentation as a PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx)
A PowerPoint presentation is a special presentation format that allows you to immediately launch it in slide show mode without opening editing mode. In other words, this is a separate file with a .ppsx resolution that only allows you to view the slides in full screen mode without editing.
- For example, if you are launching a presentation, you do not want other people to see all the slides at once, including hidden ones.
- If you want to send a presentation to another person, but so that he cannot edit it (an experienced user will be able to).
- Start saving the presentation as always, but at the final stage select the “PowerPoint Demonstration” format - Figure 2.
- This will be a separate .ppsx file and will not delete your main presentation.
- If you are afraid that another computer on which the presentation will be viewed costs more old version Microsoft programs Office PowerPoint, then save the file in the "PowerPoint 97-2003 Demo" format.

Create a video from a PowerPoint presentation
It is not always convenient to store, transport, or display a PowerPoint presentation in its original format. Sometimes converting to video can make things a lot easier specific tasks. So you should really figure out how to do it best.
Convert to video
Very often there is a need to use a presentation in video format. This reduces the chance of losing files or important information, data corruption, modification by ill-wishers, and so on. Of course, there are a lot of methods to make PPT turn into some kind of video format.
Method 1: Specialized software
First of all, it is worth noting that a wide list of specialized programs is provided to perform this task. For example, one of best options may become MovAVI.
The converter program can be either purchased or downloaded for free. In the second case, it will only work during the trial period, which is 7 days.
This method is quite simple, but different software may have different quirks, requirements and nuances. You should choose the most convenient option for yourself.
Method 2: Record a demo
It was not originally intended, but it is also a method that has certain advantages.
This method is very good because it does not force the user to mark any equal time intervals between slides, but to view the presentation in the mode he needs. It is also quite possible to record voice narration in parallel.
The main disadvantage is that you will have to sit for exactly as long as the presentation lasts in the user’s understanding, while other methods convert a document into video much faster.
It should also be noted that often when a presentation is shown, it can block access to the screen for other programs, which is why some applications will not be able to record video. If this happens, then you should try to start recording with a presentation, and then move on to a demonstration. If this does not help, then you need to try other software.
Method 3: Program's own tools
PowerPoint itself also has built-in tools for creating videos based on your presentation.
It is important to note that this option can hardly be called the best, since it may work intermittently. It is especially common to observe failures in the timing of slide changes.
Conclusion
As a result, recording a video using a presentation is quite simple. In the end, no one bothers you to simply remove the monitor using any video recording device if you have absolutely nothing to do. It should also be remembered that to record on video you need an appropriate presentation, which will look not just like a dull page timing, but like a real interesting filmstrip.
We are glad that we were able to help you solve the problem.

Download the program for the format PPT
There are situations when you urgently need to watch a presentation, but do not have access to PowerPoint. In this case, numerous online services will come to the rescue, which will allow you to run the show on any device, the main condition being the availability of Internet access.
Today we will look at the most popular and easy-to-understand sites that allow you to view presentations online.
If you don't have PowerPoint on your computer or need to run the presentation on mobile device, just go to the resources described below. All of them have a number of advantages and disadvantages, choose the one that will fully meet your needs.
Method 1: PPT online
A simple and intuitive resource for working with files in the PPTX format (files created in older versions of PowerPoint with the PPT extension are also supported). To work with a file, simply upload it to the site. Please note that after downloading the file will be placed on the server and anyone can access it. The service practically does not change appearance presentation, but you can forget about effects and beautiful transitions here.
You can only upload files no larger than 50 megabytes to the site, but in most cases this limitation is not relevant.
On the site you can not only view files in PPTX format, but also find the desired presentation through a search engine. Now the service offers thousands of options from different users.
Method 2: Microsoft PowerPoint Online
Microsoft office applications can also be accessed online. To do this, it is enough to have a brand name account. The user can go through a simple registration, upload his file to the service and gain access not only to viewing, but also to editing the document. The presentation itself is uploaded to cloud storage, so it can be accessed from any device that has access to the network. Unlike the previous method, only you, or people who will be provided with a link, will have access to the downloaded file.
In startup mode "Slide show" Effects and transitions between slides are not displayed, text and placed pictures are not distorted and remain as in the original.
Method 3: Google Slides
The site allows you not only to create presentations online, but also to edit and open files in PPTX format. The service automatically converts files into a format that is understandable for itself. Work with the document is carried out on cloud storage, it is advisable to register - this way you can access the files from any device.
Unlike the methods described above, Google Slides supports playback of animations and transition effects.
All the methods described above will help you open files in PPTX format on a computer that does not have the appropriate software. There are other sites on the Internet for solving this problem, but they work on the same principle and there is no need to consider them.
PowerPoint allows you to create presentations with very big amount slides. To manage this huge amount of information, the program offers several viewing modes:
* Ordinary- a mode that first appeared in PowerPoint 2000 - a viewing option that combines slide, outline and notes modes;
* Slide sorter- a mode that shows thumbnails of all slides, evenly spaced in the viewing window;
* Slides- a mode in which it is convenient to design and adjust individual slides;
* Structure- a mode that displays the text content of the presentation and is intended for entering and editing text;
* Notes pages- a mode designed for creating notes that help the presenter navigate the material during the presentation.
Rice. 13.4. Presentation View Mode Buttons in PowerPoint
1. Switching from one mode to another for the first two modes, as well as starting slide viewing, is done by simply clicking on one of the three buttons located in the lower left corner of the presentation window (Fig. 13.4). Two buttons at the top of the normal mode window allow you to switch between modes slides and structure. You can switch to note page mode from the menu View > Note Pages.
2. Try clicking on the indicated buttons one by one while watching the presentation in one of the viewing modes.
3. Click the middle button at the top of the presentation window to return to normal mode.
In normal mode (see Figure 13.3), which is automatically enabled when you create a blank presentation or a presentation based on a design template, the document window is divided into three areas: the slide area, the outline area, and the notes area. The first of them always contains general form current slide. The presentation outline area on the left is a smaller version of the outline view. At the bottom right of the presentation window is the notes area. Here you can enter explanatory text that does not appear on the slide itself, but which can be displayed in notes view or, when preparing speaker notes, printed next to the corresponding slide.
4. The size ratio of the normal viewing areas can be changed. To do this, place the mouse pointer on the border between the areas so that the pointer icon changes to a double-headed arrow, click the mouse button and drag the border line. Once you have selected the desired size, release the mouse button.
In Normal mode, like most other viewing modes, there are three toolbars in the PowerPoint window. At the top is the Standard panel. Its tools perform operations such as opening and saving presentations, copying and pasting content, and adding slides and objects. Below it is the toolbar Formatting. It allows you to change the font and style of the selected text, format paragraphs and lists, and customize animation effects. About the toolbar Drawing located at the bottom of the window, we will talk about it in the next lesson.
Hello, dear blog readers! I have often seen many people present their presentation in slide editing mode. That is, with right side slides, and on the left side - thumbnails. But this is a wrong demo because there is no animation or full screen mode, which causes some inconvenience to the speaker. And one of the most popular questions for beginners is how to run a Powerpoint presentation in full screen.
How to make a presentation full screen
There are several ways to do this:
- by pressing the F5 button on your computer keyboard,
- by pressing the Start button on the Slide Show tab (or Slide Show in recent versions)
Slide Show tab in Microsoft PowerPointOn a laptop presentation starts when you press a key combination Fn+F5 from the first slide and to exit the full-screen demo mode, press the Esc key.
If you want to start the show from a specific slide, not from the first one, then select the desired slide in the thumbnail panel and the following options are also possible here:
- by clicking the From current slide button on the Slide Show tab or using a keyboard shortcut Shift+F5(or Slideshow in recent versions)
- In the lower right corner of the editor, click the “Slide Show” icon
Bottom edge of the presentation editor screen By the way, to show presentation in separate window go to the tab Slide show V Demo Settings and set the switch to the "User controlled (window)" position. This way you can control the size of the demo window. Perhaps this option will also be useful to someone.
Working in slide show mode
There is no interface or mouse pointer dragee visible here. The transition to the next slide can be done using control buttons, and in several ways:
- press the left mouse button on the keyboard,
- down arrow right arrow
- space or Enter
To go back one slide: up or left arrow or Backspace button.
The "Home" button will take us to the first slide, and the "End" button will take us to the last.
Keyboard shortcuts for navigating slide shows
- Change slide or move to a new effect - left click, spacebar, N, Enter, Page down, right arrow, down arrow
- Show the previous slide or animation effect - "P", "Page Up" or "Backspace" key, left arrow, up arrow.
- Go to the specified slide - number, then enter button.
- Dim and restore - "B" or "." key (dot).
- Lightening and restoration - “w” or “,” (comma) key.
- Ending the display - "Esc" key
If you move the mouse down to the left corner, a cursor and several buttons appear. The left and right arrows again allow you to scroll through the slides. The next button is in the form of a pencil. When you click on it, a small list of additional tools will open. With their help, you can make notes on the slide during the demonstration.
Keyboard shortcuts for handwritten notes
- Ctrl+P - replacing the pointer with a pencil
- Ctrl+A - replacing the pointer with an arrow
- Ctrl+E - replacing the pointer with an eraser
- Ctrl+M - show or hide handwritten notes
- E - screen cleaning
Sometimes when demonstrating it is necessary to focus the audience's attention on some element. You can point it with the mouse arrow, and if you press the "Ctrl" key together with the left mouse button, you get the effect of a laser pointer.
Presenter View in PowerPoint
Above was an example of displaying a presentation on one monitor or on two in duplication mode. If you are showing a presentation through a projector, then it is more advisable to use presenter mode in this case.
Here the slide show is displayed on a projector, and on your monitor you also get the opportunity to see thumbnails of all your slides, notes for the slide being shown, current time and a timer for your performance.
Monitor screen in presenter mode
You won't have to remember what should appear on the next screen, and you will be able to clearly control the rules of your speech.
IN latest version Microsoft Word To view on the screen, you can launch the presenter mode with a keyboard shortcut Alt+F5. In this case, a projector or second monitor is not required.
To enable this mode during your presentation, on the Slide Show tab, in the Monitors group, check the box and select the second monitor mode (marked with a red frame below in the figure)
Enable presenter mode This mode can be turned on provided that a projector or another monitor is additionally connected to the computer.
I hope that the last feature will greatly simplify your public speaking. And the listeners will be satisfied. I wish you successful performances.
