If you have the solution to my issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
I used to use the Office 97 version of PowerPoint at church with dual
monitors. I had to move my desktop over to the secondary monitor because I
could not select to send the show to the secondary monitor and the show would
always go to the primary monitor. I was okay with that, but would have to
watch what I would open during the service because some things would pop up
on the primary monitor even if I tried to dock it to the secondary monitor. I
used Slide Sorter View to be able to see all of the slides for a song,
especially when there were 10 or 12 slides. When I would click on View Show,
the show would begin on the primary monitor and I was still able to view all
of the slides in Slide Sorter View on the secondary monitor (the view did not
change). Then the church bought a new computer and Office 2003.
Now I can select to send the show to the secondary monitor (no more
unexpected windows popping up on the screen in front). However, I have not
been able to find where the option to keep the PowerPoint edit window, on the
primary monitor, in Slide Sorter View; it always changes from Slide Sorter
View to Normal View when I click on View Show. Even with the thumbnails down
the left side of the screen in Normal View, I am not able to see more than
six slides which makes it difficult when the song director signals verse 4
and I'm trying to determine whether this particular song has 2 slides per
verse or 3 slides per verse. When I was able to see all of the slides at
once, it made the calculation of which slide to put up next much easier.
I am able to go back to Slide Sorter View on the new computer, but it takes
one click to put the focus on the primary monitor, the second click to select
Slide Sorter View, and the third click to resume the focus on the show, being
presented on the secondary monitor, to be able to advance the slides for the
show.
I know three clicks is not very many, but it's just a little irritating
since I didn't have to do this before. I have been unable to find where
Microsoft hid this option (if this is even able to be changed). So, if you
would be able to tell me how to keep Slide Sorter View (seen on the primary
monitor) from changing to Normal View when I select View Show (which presents
on the secondary monitor), I would be most grateful.
Sincerely,
Clark
