Dual Display using "Presenter View" as in MS PowerPoint

I have a T410 type 2522-A92 and want to present slides on a projector screen while on my laptop monitor I can see the slide and my notes. I have so fare been unsuccessful in doing this. Is my laptop model not equiped for this task and if so, is there any way I can put this right.
Solved!

Hi Kappelmeister,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble using extended display in your Lenovo ThinkPad T410.
For using PowerPoint in Presenter Mode, the extended desktop feature must be enabled for this mode to function. Press FN+F7 to switch to extended display mode.
In PowerPoint, go to the Slideshow menu and click "Set up show”.
Click on the Presenter Mode or Show Presenter View.
After doing this and starting the slide show, the slide will appear on the second monitor (the projection screen) and the laptop screen can be used to access something in private.
Refer here for further information on how to configure PowerPoint to use presenter view with two monitors.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Dual Display using ADC

Hi. I have PowerMac G5, 1.8GHZ with CRT display and NVDA, Display-A. The PCI card has two output, DVI-I and ADC. DVI-I is connected to SONY display and functioning fine. I want to add another display using ADC. I bought ADC-DVI connector from the apple store (Dr Bott ADC DVI exctractor II). I also bought apple's DVI to video adaptor. Using these, I'm trying to make video display on the NTSC monitor.
ADC-DVI-RCA
It doesn't display. Could anyone tell me why it doesn't work?

Greetings,
The ADC-DVI cable only works with LCD monitor, not with CRT. Swap your connection of monitors the other way round and this should work.

Sudden Change to Slide Show Display/Presenter View Greyed Out

Two weeks ago powerpoint was acting normally. I would come into class, hook my netbook up to the projector, set my monitor output option to extended desktop and start my slideshow in presenter view. This morning I went into class and I was unable to use
presenter view. It was greyed out. I had to clone the displays and wing it without my notes. Also, the slideshow itself *looked* different. There was an orange menu bar at the bottom that I could not get rid of. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Michelle,
Do you mean the "Use Presenter View" option under "SLIDE SHOW" tab on the ribbon is greyed out for you?
When you are in the "Slide Show" mode, please try to right click on the slide and see if you can select the "Show Presenter View" from the context menu.
Have you ever made any changes to your computer recently? You might want to try installing any required updates, including updating your graphic card driver to the latest version, then try again.
"There was an orange menu bar at the bottom..." - Is it possible to share a screenshot of it with us? You can send the file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).

Hyperlinks in Dual Display mode, Keynote '09.

This problem has been well reported in this forum,but I cannot find an answer.
I have created a series of Keynote '09 presentations and I have installed hyperlinks on the last slide of each one to open, on clicking, the subsequent presentation.
Trouble is in Dual Display (not mirrored) mode using a projector as Secondary Display and a MacBook as Primary Display (with next slide, presenter notes, timers, and other items that only I, as presenter, can see. Then I cannot activate the hyperlinks; in fact the icon of small blue circle and white arrow is not showing in this mode and the pointer does not change to finger.
However if I press X or use "Swap" from drop-down menu I can see the view of slide that the audience normally sees and the hyperlink is shown and active. I click on it and once the subsequent Keynote opens, I can press X again and return to Presenter View on MB, but this is messy and the audience gets to see the "workings". Not a good look.
Interestingly, the same disappearance of hyperlinks also occurs if I use Rehearse Slideshow, but not if I use Play Slideshow when MB is not hooked to external display. This seems to suggest thst these hyperlinks are not there in "Presenter" view.

I found I had the same problem at my let presentation: Hyperlinks do not work in dual display using the MacBook at primary display. I gave up and put the presentation on my iPad and everything worked fine. Think I will just mirror the display of my MacBook so I can use the hyperlinks.

"Presenter view" for Acrobat - URGENT!

Hi all,
Is it possible to have a feature like "presenter view" (as in MS Powerpoint)? It allows the presenter to see the presenter to see not only the currently projected slide that the audience sees but also a preview of the next one plus speaker notes for the slide and a timer.
Is this possible, or is there a work around or can this feature be included.
Thanks

It would be nice, but at present there is no such view. If you go to properties (under edit), the full screen menu gives you the options that can currently be used. There is supposedly a dual screen option, but it does not come up properly for me. You might try it and have better results.

Can not make presenter view work in Yosemite

Can not make

Thank you for your help and patience. I'm trying to understand this so I can fix it if I get in the wrong situation again (which will be shortly before the crowd wants to see the talk).
I gave the same Keynote presentation on the same MacAir a week earlier, before switching to Yosemite, and everything worked the way I wanted. I installed Yosemite and either the default settings changed or Yosemite switched me back to default settings I had unknowingly changed.
I don't remember seeing the word "Extended" during the 10 minutes that I played with this while some of the crowd watched. I turned Mirroring on and off, moved the bar from screen to screen, turned gathering screens or displays (I forget) on and off—and could not get a combination that displayed the presenter view on my MacAir. I just checked Play > Customize Presenter Display and everything is checked or not checked correctly (i.e., I don't use the notes, and they were the only thing not checked).
I looked in Keynote help. "Extended display" and "extended" produce nothing on this. "Mirroring" and "mirrored display" produce nothing helpful, The section on "Present on a separate display" does say "If you’re using Apple TV and are mirroring your display, you won’t see the presenter display on your Mac," but I wasn't using Apple TV so that doesn't apply. Otherwise, it says everything will automatically be right — but nothing was automatically right.
So the next time I am connected to a projector, How do I switch to Extended display? I am certain that at one or more times I had Mirroring turned off, the bar on the left screen, and there was no presenter view. And I don't remember seeing the word "Exended," or ever having these problems in the past.
PS: I now understand what gathering displays does—it puts the controls on the computer rather than the other display. That could use a better name. There's rarely a reason to turn it off, but when you're trying everything why not try "Gathering" because who knows what that means? And that just slows the process down why you fiddle with controlling everything from a screen behind you.

Having trouble recording a video using Presenter 9, inside PoswerPoint installed as part of MS Office 10, PP version is 14...

The Presenter add in opens up just fine. I can do most everything with the Presenter tool bar, including recording and publishing audio for the slides, but I get an error message when trying to use the "Video" recording function. I have a screen shot of the error message if that would help, But is basically says the "Application encountered and internal Error. If the error persists, contact someone." Adobe support is useless on this issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
I DO NOT have two monitors set up and the button labeled "Use Presenter View" is unchecked.

Check that your video drivers are up to date.

Keynote 6.0 Presenter View

Just installed Keynote 6. In the previous version you were able to adjust the size and position of elements (e.g. current slide, next slide, notes...) in your presenter view. Any idea how to get this done in v6.0?

Hi,
I like that you can edit presenter notes in presenter view, and adjust font size - this is great.
As per other comments, I use presenter view every day, restricting the size of presenter notes box, and restricting layout is a big step backwards.
Presenter notes are pretty much useless in a tiny box, if you're stood up talking and moving in front of hundreds of people. You need to glance at the screen and get a key word, figure or stat. Not stand behind your laptop using 'U' or 'D' to scroll in a tiny box.
If the ability to rearrange the layout and size of current slide, next slide, and presenter view was reinstated - that would be brilliant.
I did like the hand gesture for the slide navigator before too - not a major issue though.
Cheers

Dashboard Prompt (All Choices) using Narrative View

Using Narrative View I can display LOVs of Prompt but when the (All Choices) selected, how to display using Narrative View?

In Your criteria Create a column with foruma like the below
CASE WHEN '@{psitename}{All}' = '' THEN 'ALL' else '@{psitename}{All}' end
And now in your narrative of the report, Add @2 if the above column is in second place of criteria. Add this narrative in you compound layout. Hide the column if you dont want show it in table view.
This code works in 3 cases.
1. If variable is null then it shows default value - All
2. If variable is selected to all choices then it shows ALL
3. If you select any site, that shows site name.
let me know if does not work for you..

Displaying a presentation variable in a title view

Hello,
I've created a title view with the title:
Category Sales Last 12 Months for @{CountryRegion}
I also have a dashboard prompt that sets the presentation variable. However, the first time you run the dashboard page the title displays:
Category Sales Last 12 Months for @{CountryRegion}
instead of:
Category Sales Last 12 Months for
yet when the prompt is set within the dashboard to a value (e.g. Europe), the title correctly shows:
Category Sales Last 12 Months for Europe
I thought the title was supposed to not display the presentation variable definition at all if it is not set.
Please can someone provide some pointers on how to get the title to correctly show the value of the presentation variable in the title whether the value is set or not.
Cheers,
John

You can use the Replace function mentioned above only in column formula. If you do not want to use column formula to display this value, then you can opt for Javascript replace function. To implement it, you need to replace your presentation variable in text object with below code and ensure to check Contains HTML markup checbox.
<div id=custDiv>@{WeekBetween}{Default Value}</div>
<script>
var i = document.getElementById('custDiv').innerHTML;
document.getElementById('custDiv').innerHTML= i.replace(","," - ");
</script>
Let me know if this works for you.

Video iChat for Full Screen presentation in dual-display mode

I plan on giving a presentation and want to use video iChat with a special effects background projected using dual display mode. I find that if I use video preview in iChat, that I can't enter full screen mode (this would look best when projected). It seems you can only enter full screen if connected to a buddy in iChat, which I don't want for the presentation.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this, or maximize the appearance?
Thanks.

Hi,
You want the Flipped pic that iChat gives you but using the Preview only as you do not require an actual chat to make a Presentation.
Ideally you would like that to be Full Screen but the Preview only does not do full screen.
Adding a second Screen in the form a Projector and mirroring is possible.
This of course would allow you present a "Live Feed" as it were.
Do you gave Quicktime Pro ?
This allows you to set a window to Full Screen even if not actually recording, but shows what the camera sees. (albeit not Flipped like iChat although iGasses can fix that.
I would also look at some of the options on this page

Presenter view won't display

So I made this fabulous keynote presentation to use in my classroom, and tried to use the presenter view so that I wouldn't forget what was coming up next (as I often do!).
I connected my macbook to both a TV and a projector, but both times when I played the presentation, my screen was the exact same as what was shown on the TV and from the projector.
Under presenter display preferences, I have checked:
-Use alternate display to view presenter information (I also tried it with this unchecked)
-show current slide, next slide, clock, time, and ready to advance indicator
What am I doing wrong? I have a feeling it's probably something very obvious where I'll smack my forehead after someone tells me. But seriously, I tried all morning and couldn't do it.
I'm running Leopard, but I would hope that isn't the problem.
Merci beaucoup!

Your OS X display preferences need to be set up for monitor spanning, and not monitor mirroring. In the System Preferences, in the Display pane, you can turn on this option.
(If Keynote were smart, when a presentation is set to use the Presenter Display it would recognize when spanning isn't turned on, and would give you a warning or some explanatory information.)

"Design" view as a separate panel for dual-display

I just started using CS6 and was really hoping to see a new workflow enhancement for dual-display production with the "Design" view. I code all of my markup by hand in the code view. I would love to see the "Design" view in a separate panel that I could drag over to my second display by itself. Sort of like designers using "Code Inspector" as a panel on their second display. But for me, to maximize efficiency, I need the code to be closest to all of the menu bars and panels. I just want to make a code edit, click the DW "refresh" button, and glance at the layout in a "Design" without having to do additional clicking or moving pointer from display to display, ya know? Using browsers I have to save the file(s), upload the file(s), wait for the transfer to complete, move my pointer to the second display, click the refresh button, THEN look at the layout. Ugh. Been doing this for years, and really am tired of it. I have looked through the commands and online material hoping to find an update. Is this still a pipe dream?
Thanks for any info,
- DK

Apart from using the Code Inspector, I don't believe this is possible. It sounds like a sensible suggestion, though. You can file a feature request through the form at http://adobe.ly/DWBug.

Setting Photoshop monitor profiles when using dual displays?

I'm using a Macbook Pro connected to an Apple Cinema Display under OS 10.5.8. Both monitors are calibrated and I export from Lightroom to Photoshop in ProPhoto. The Photoshop working colour space is also ProPhoto so there is no mismatch there.
When in dual display mode I like to have my Photoshop application on the Macbook screen and the photo I'm working on shown on the Cinema Display. In fact, I couldn't work any other way because the laptop's screen is not at all suitable for precision work.
I noticed that when I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4 for further editing the colours were off in Photoshop. This lead me to check the monitor profile used by Photoshop and I saw it was using the Macbook Pro .icc profile. This seems to be used even if the image is displayed in the external display. Selecting the Cinema Display as "default" in ColorSync doesn't change the situation. As a result, the colours as displayed by Photoshop are incorrect.
The only "solution" I have found is to either go to System Preferences > Displays and select the external monitor as the principal one (which is inconvenient because it negates many of the advantages of using dual monitors) or setting the Cinema Display's .icc profile for the Macbook Pro as well (which makes it the one chosen by Photoshop but means I'm only working wiht one correctly calibrated monitor).
Is there a solution to this problem? Ideally I want to have both my monitors calibrated and Photoshop detect which one I'm using to view my photo. Failing that, I would like to have both monitors calibrated and "tell" Photoshop to use the Cinema Display as the principal monitor.I don't want .
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
I'm not too worried about 10.6 because I'm not using it ( I reverted to 10.5.8 precisely because of the colour issues).
I don't really understand your reply. My problem is that if Photoshop uses my Mabook Pro profile as the "monitor profile" my pictures - as displayed on the Cinema Display - look different in Lightroom and in Photoshop. It's as if Lightroom is "aware" of which of the two displays is being used whereas Photoshop can only deal with one at a time. I would like to know if this analysis is correct and what I can do so that Photoshop displays my photographs the same way as Lightroom does on each of my two displays.

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.
