Font size in presenter view

[alex]

How can I change the font size of the notes in the
presenter view? Even if I change the size in the notes
view when I go to the presenter view it does not keep the
same font size on the notes.

Unfortunately, the Presenter View is very rigid and cannot be changed.

I looked at that link but it did not answer my question.
Let me restate the question a bit more clearly.

I have office 2003 and I bought it because of the
presenter view option in powerpoint which allows me to
look at the current slide, upcoming slides, and notes
while presenting only the current slide on a second
monitor. I have been informed that I can't resize the
slides by dragging the scroll bar while in the presenter
view. This option is available in the new macintosh
version of powerpoint but it is not available in the
windows version. Also available in the mac version is the
ability to change the font size in the presenter view. I
would like to do that in the windows version and am
wondering if it is possible or if once again, it is
available only in the mac version. Thanks

Presenter view shows the notes at a fixed size.

As a workaround, you might want to look at the following link:

show?

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

The current set of presenter tools (tools for the presenter to use while
delivering a slide show) for PowerPoint for Windows are somewhat limited in
this regard (when compared to PowerPoint 2004 for Macintosh).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
PowerPoint's presenter tools (such as Presenter View in PowerPoint 2002 and
2003) might be improved to support this scenario, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft by either:

PREFERRED METHOD:

A) If you are using Microsoft's web-based, online newsreader for Office
communities
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.p
ublic.powerpoint), check to see whether or not the suggestion has been
submitted before (Show -> Suggestions for Microsoft) and, if so, add your
vote to the suggestion submission. If the suggestion has not been submitted
before, click on the "New" drop-down menu and choose "Suggestion for
Microsoft" from directly within the newsreader web page.

OR, NEXT BEST METHOD:

B) If you are using another newsreader (such as Microsoft Outlook Express),
submit your suggestion using your web browser at the following address:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
