All, I've googled and not come up with anything truly useful. I'm hoping by squeaking a little someone can give me a tip. Quite often I do Powerpoint presentations using a dual monitor / projector set up. The 'Presenter Tools' in Powerpoint 2008 are quite useful to remind me where I am in the presentation, keep timing, etc. However, I can't seem to figure out how to turn them off.
The obvious, 'Uncheck View Presenter Tools', doesn't seem to do anything. What makes this worse is that there is no way that I can find to open another application over the Presenter Tools without disrupting the actual presentation. I would like to have a notes program open (text file, MacJournal, etc.) to take detailed notes. That eliminates a notebook from my bag.
One potential workaround is to use Mirror Mode for the screens - but that doesn't allow the notes program either? I suspect this is supposed to work and just doesn't. Does anyone know a workaround or have any reasonable suggestions? (FWIW I have to use Powerpoint due to work).
However, the displays were swapped and the Presenter View was projected. I could not switch back. I could not click on the 'swap displays'. There's a Presenter View, so you can see your notes and thumbnails of your slides while giving a You can now add animations—including entrance, exit, and emphasis effects—in PowerPoint for iOS, although On an iPad, you can see comments added on a Mac or PC, but not edit them or add new.

If you click the small screen icon in the bottom left corner, Powerpoint goes into full screen mode immediately without starting the presenters tools. (The keyboard shortcut for this is cmd-return) In Windows you can move powerpoint to the external display and have some other application open on your monitor.
Have not tried it with a Mac yet. Edit: I think I tried it once and it worked. However, I currently have no external display, so I can't make sure what the exact steps are.

Was using latest version of Powerpoint for Mac to project a presentation to a class at UCLA. Used the 'Presenter View' so that I had one view (with notes) and the class saw only the presentation. However, the displays were swapped and the Presenter View was projected. I could not switch back. I could not click on the 'swap displays' button because that was the version projected on the screen.
The 'Presenter View' setting was selected, not the Mirror Show in the menu area of the application. No one could figure it out. We even tried going to Displays in Preferences and changing the Arrangement to Mirror, but still it didn't work. Basically, my screen was NOT showing the 'Presenter View'. Could it have made a difference that the media projector was connected after the computer was on? Thank you to anyone who can help! Apple Footer.
