Presenting without Notes
August 13, 2008
Have you ever wanted to use notes during your presentation but didn’t want to use note cards? There is a simple yet powerful approach to looking like a pro when you deliver your next presenation without spening tons of $$$ on a teleprompter. Here is how to set up Notes that will always be right in front of your face but invisible to the audience.
The simple answer, if you are using PowerPoint 2002 or later, is to set your presentation to run on two monitors.
1) One monitor will display your presentation slides which will be viewable by the audience.
2) The second monitor will be used to project the notes from your presentation. This is called Presenter View and while using this view you will be able to see your notes, slides and other applications during the slide show. The great thing about Presenter View is that all of the applications that are visable to you are not visible to your audience. You also have the ability to easily start and end your presentation as well as show slides out of order. You can even keep track of the elasped time since the start of your presentation so you are a never surprised and run out of time again. So now I know your question is, how do I set this up?
