Presenting Your Slide Show
Presenter View
If you're presenting your slide show with a second display, like a projector, you can use Presenter View. Presenter View gives you access to a special set of controls on your screen that your audience won't see, allowing you to easily reference slide notes, preview the upcoming slide, and much more.
To access Presenter View:
- Start your slide show as normal, then click the Slide Options button and select Presenter View. Alternatively, you can press Alt+F5 on your keyboard to start the slide show in Presenter View.
