About running a presentation on two monitors
Using Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 and Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 (or later) or Microsoft Windows XP, you can run your presentation from one monitor and let the audience view it on another monitor. This allows you to keep other programs running that the audience won't see, plus you have access to presenter view, which offers a variety of tools for making it easier to present.
Presenter view
Use any of the following commands to navigate from one slide to the next while you're giving a slide show or reviewing a presentation in slide show view.
Go to the next slide
· Click the mouse.
· Press SPACEBAR or ENTER.
· Right-click, and on the shortcut menu, click Next.
