How to use Presenter View in
PowerPoint 2007

What is Presenter View?
Presenter View is a great way to view
your presentation with speaker notes
on one computer (your laptop), while
your audience views the notes-free
presentation on a second monitor
(projected on a larger screen).
Your laptop must have dual or multiple
monitor support

Easiest Way
Using Intel Graphics Media
Accelerator Driver or similar

On your desktop view, right click on desktop
and select “Graphic Properties”

• Select “Extended Desktop”
• Make sure the Primary Device is “Notebook” and the
Secondary Device is “Monitor”
• Click Apply and then OK to confirm (popup) and OK below

• Open up your PowerPoint deck
• Go to “Slide Show” on the toolbar and click “Use Presenter
View”
• Select “Monitor 2…” in the drop down menu if it isn’t already
(it might say something other than what you see below – just
don’t select “Primary Monitor”)

To view Presenter View, go to Slide Show mode. This is what your
laptop monitor will show. The projector screen will just display the
full slide.

To close out of PowerPoint, click on the x. If your curser doesn’t show
up right away, it is because you are on dual screen (side by side).
Move the mouse to the left and it will eventually show up.

FYI
• You will not see full animations in
Presentation View but they will show up
on the main screen
• You will not see videos in Presentation View,
but they will show up on the main screen

To reset the laptop back, right
