MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006From average to advanced in PowerPoint & Preview screen
I'd say that I'm a fairly competent user of PowerPoint. I probably know about 2/3 of its features, though that's just a guess. I'm going to be teaching a university lecture course this coming semester and I'll be using PowerPoint in every class. I'd like to move from average to advanced in my knowledge of how to give great presentations. What training resources and other materials could you recommend that will help me to become much better at at this? By the way, when I give a PP Presentation, I see on my computer screen the same thing that the audience sees. But it would be very helpful if I could see on my computer an smaller frame showing what the next slide will be, in a manner similar to the way one can have two channels showing on a TV screen. That way, when I'm explaining the current slide, I'm also being cued on what is coming up. Does such a feature exist? Thanks. Bob If your laptop supports muliple monitors turn on presenter view in slide show > set up show (Display slide show on monitor 2)  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I'd say that I'm a fairly competent user of PowerPoint.

There is a complicating factor. When I posted this question, I was using this Office 2007 Beta. I found the program to be too unstable, so I uninstalled the program and reinstalled Office 2002. Unfortunately, that version of office didn't have PowerPoint, so I am using my Office 2000 version. I didn't see in this, the item to which you were referring. Do you know if it's there, or do I have to upgrade?

You'd need 2002 or higher. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks Steve. I need to get an upgrade, but I'll wait until I get my next computer with Vista and Office 2007. At that point, I'll look for this feature. Bob > > Hi John, Thank you for your reply.

The new version of Presenter in 2007's supposed to have some really nice bells and whistles. Unfortunately, my rig doesn't support it here so I can't play. :-( > Bob > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ For giving presentations, see if they have a Toastmasters club on campus. For learning more about PowerPoint, you're already at a place where you can pick up a lot of knowledge. Just come here every day and look through the posts to soak up the knowledge.

I was wonderhng, however, if there were online courses or other materials that are freely available online to help one advance one's knowledge so as to give more effective PowerPoint presentations. > For giving presentations, see if they have a Toastmasters club on campus. > For learning more about PowerPoint, you're already at a place where you can [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thanks. > > Bob
