Not a statistical issue, but a tool in very common use. Unless I've
been deaf and blind for years, I've never heard this feature mentioned
or seen it used.
Powerpoint enables you to make slides and write notes to go with each
slide. But in "slide show" mode you don't see your notes, and the same
slide appears on the PC screen and the attached projector. Most
frustrating, as the presenter clearly needs the notes while the audience
sees the slide.
If (in PP 2007, 2010) you open the "slide show" *tab* (instead of the
"view" tab or clicking the slide show icon) and check "Use presenter
view", Powerpoint shows the slide on one screen and splits the second to
show the notes, current slide and thumbnails of the others - and even
adds a clock. You may have to fiddle with PC parameters to activate the
second display, but our standard laptops do support dual screens. Just
to show nothing's perfect, you can't run through the slides in
"presenter mode" when the second display is not connected.
Search "presenter view" in Powerpoint Help for details and more
features.
I'm quite prepared to be told this is basic knowledge and used
everywhere else. :-) However, knowing about it may also encourage
people to add notes to their slide shows when making them available
online.
