Hi John, Don't print out 65 pages of paper prints, one for each slide. Instead, go to File - Print. Under Print what, choose Handouts. In the box Handouts, choose Slides per page: 3. Next to each slide you will get space to write your notes.

All of you, except for Alexi said that it could not be done easily. I was encouraged when you told me the solution to my problem Alexi, but I just tried it (right clicking on slide while in Slide Mode and clicking on Speaker Notes), but it did not work. The notes still appear on the projection screen. So, frustrated, I went to the Microsoft PowerPoint FAQ webpage and this is what they say. There is a solution but it sounds horribly complicated and above level of expertise and not worth the effort and expense, so I guess I'll just print out 65 pages of paper prints, one for each slide. Uggh! Here's what The Microsoft FAQ says: How can I display slides on a PC connected to a projector but still view my notes (and control the slide show)? Paul Iordanides has kindly given us permission to post his essay on the subject. To do this in PowerPoint, your system must support dual monitors. Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows 2000 and Windows Xp all support Dual monitors. Win 98 supports a max of 9, and I have personally set up 8 monitors in Windows 2000 and Xp Since there seems to be a lot of confusion about dual monitors, let me define what dual monitors means: Dual Monitors, Dual Displays, Multi-Monitor -- all of these terms refer to HARDWARE configurations. For HARDWARE dual monitor support, your computer must be equipped with two or more video boards OR it must have a single multi-port video board. If you have a laptop, you must either have a chipset that supports Dual monitors or you must use an external PCMCIA video board. Some laptop brands that have models with the dual monitor chipset are IBM, Toshiba, Dell. I'm sure there are others. One of the most popular "dual monitor" chipsets is the ATI Rage mobility, but again, there are others. Most laptops have an external 15 pin video connector, but this does not indicate that you have dual monitor support. Simply put: Check your manual or the company support website to see if your laptop supports Dual Monitors. On my website I recommend the Appian traveler video board that you can use for dual monitor support with laptops. Multi-Show Software available at iosysoft.com allows up to 3 simultaneous shows at once if you have a four port Video board. The AppianX boards are really nice. Paul Iordanides http://www.iosysoft.com PPCwin: A Dual Display PowerPoint Controller Note: your SOFTWARE must also support dual monitors. PowerPoint 2000 and up allows you to choose which HARDWARE monitor you want to display the slide show on (and which to display your notes, etc. on) You need to set this up each time you run the show, because PowerPoint doesn't save the information. There's a hotfix available from Microsoft that will help with this. John L. Carmichael Jr. 925 E.

Regards Alexei Malta At 16:28 28/03/2004, you wrote: Hello PowerPoint Experts: Please excuse me for asking a non-dialing question but I'm having a problem setting up my PowerPoint slide show for Oxford. My presentation is finished and I was testing it last night using a digital projector. On Powerpoint, using "Normal" view, there is a box on the computer screen that allowed me to write notes about each slide. The idea is that you can refer to you notes on the computer screen while you are talking about the slide. I don't want the audience to see my notes, I just want them to see the slide. But here's the problem. I've tried a lot of different settings, but no matter how I set it up, the projected image always looks the same as the computer screen. When I put PowerPoint in "Slide Show" mode, my notes disappear from the computer screen and just the slide is visible on both screens. In "Normal" view, my note box and a smaller picture of the slide appears on both screens. Does anybody know how I can get my notes to appear only on my computer screen and not on the projection screen? Thanks for any help with this. John John L. Carmichael Jr. 925 E.
