1) If your laptop has multi-monitor support (check your desktop properties,
ensure that the second monitor has "Extend my Windows desktop on this
monitor" checked), you can enable Presenter's View (Click Slide Show > Set Up
Show. Put a checkmark on Show Presenter View. Click Ok), which allows you to
see the notes during slide show.
Check this out for more information:

2) Once you click on the Show Formatting A/A button, you should be able to
change the font size through the font size option. (This can be done by
selecting font size field, and enter an appropriate number).
