But if you want to rehearse your presentation when you don't have a projector or second monitor handy, PowerPoint won't cooperate.
Unless you have a second monitor plugged in, PowerPoint won't let you use Presenter view. Chirag Dalal discovered this slick solution: If you have Windows 7 and a dual-monitor capable machine a laptop would do and you don't need second monitor , do the following:. If you don't have Win7, you might want to make a "dummy load" for your second VGA connector thanks to Chris Watts for this suggestion.
This is just a VGA connector that's been rigged up with resistors to make the computer think that there's a monitor or projector connected. Connect 75 ohm resistor from pin 1 to pin 6 terminates red Connect 75 ohm resistor from pin 2 to pin 7 terminates green Connect 75 ohm resistor from pin 3 to pin 8 terminates blue.
Picture of thru-hole resistors, if you've never seen any. When you buy a VGA connector and snap-together shell, the pin numbers are printed in small print, next to the pins, on the plastic the pins are mounted in. The pin numbers will be the left-to-right mirror, of the picture in the Wikipedia article.
That is because the Wikipedia picture, is the video card end, and not the "fake" connector you hope to make. PowerPoint offers several tools and features that can help make your presentation smooth, engaging, and professional. In this lesson, you will learn how to play a slide show and advance through slides. In addition, you will learn about various presentation options like using a highlighter to mark slides and how to set your slide show to play on a continuous loop.
To present your slide show, you'll need to know how to start it. PowerPoint allows you to start your slide show from the first slide or from any slide within the slide show. Once your slide show has started, you'll need to know how to advance through the slides. Optional: You can download this example for extra practice. You can also start the slide show from the slide you prefer by selecting the slide and clicking on From Current Slide from the Start Slide Show group. This option is convenient if you only want to view or present certain slides.
Another option for starting the slide show is to select Slide Show view at the bottom of the window. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to advance and reverse slides. To end a slide show, hover and select the menu box options command and click End Show. You can also press the Esc key at the top left of your keyboard to end the show. PowerPoint provides convenient tools and features you can use while you are presenting your slide show.
Features include changing your mouse pointer to a pen or highlighter to draw attention to items in your slides. In addition, you can jump around to slides in your presentation or access items from your computer desktop if needed. From the same menu, you can also change the color of the pen or highlighter. This button will turn the screen black for the audience, so that the focus would be on you, the presenter, instead of the PowerPoint.
