Change in View Mode - Powerpoint XP

[Roland]

Hi
Can anyone help?

We use powerpoint for all singing, etc, in our church
services. For fuller freedom for the worship leader, we
have installed XP 2002 and set it up in dual-screen mode
(one screen showing the image the audience sees; the
other a working screen for the computer presenter).

Everything would be just great - except that when we go
into the "View" mode, the working monitor goes into three
columns ... left column a small slide image, center
column the slide shown on viewer screen in auditorium ...
and right column with "End play", "black screen", etc
buttons.

Our need - to have the left column images large enough so
they can be read.

Our monitor is a 17" flat screen. We have even tried a
19" flat screen. The small "slide" image is not readable
at that size.

Is there any way in which to re-set the presets that
automatically take over the computer presenter's screen?
Does it make any difference if one uses either the
primary monitor or secondary monitor for the presenter
screen (not the large view for audience, but the one the
presenter works on)?

How can I get the small slide image larger in the "View"
mode?

Your help would really be appreciated!

Good Morning Roland,

Unfortunately, there is no way that I have come across to adjust the size of
the Presenters view displays. Pretty much, what is there, is what's there.

If you would, take a moment to let MS know what you would like to see. It
appears that MS is gathering information for the next version of PowerPoint
to begin to work on development. Now is a good time to let them know.

John, what was that link again?

I haven't come across any way around that for Presenter View. You might want
to look at SundayStar add-in at
http://www.mvps.org/chirag/sundaystar/sundaystar.html - see if it suits you.
