Three weeks ago on a Monday, I opened my first PowerPoint file, put it in presentation mode, and began my seminar. I used them at my seminars for three weeks, 5 days each week, with no problems. I have 6 files, each holding about 150 slides and weighing in at between 10 and 53 mg. In November, I put together my new PowerPoint files for my all-day children’s lit.

I bought the new Office 2011 for Mac and had it loaded on the machine. I’m using a MacBook Air, version 10.7.5, that I purchased new in October, 2012.

I’ve got a new weird Mac PowerPoint problem that I don’t know how to solve and I’m hoping someone has experienced/fixed this vexing disaster. My usual programs are 5 hours with 700 slides, and if this happens again, my goose is cooked.
Any advice on things to try or explanations of why the projector wouldn’t recognize my Mac? I’d be most grateful for all ideas.

Reading your list of comments, I’m now panicked thinking I’m going to have this problem again, plus the Presentation Mode problem.

He said to hook up my Mac to a projector with the VGA adapter, go under the Apple, and run Software Update in case there’s a firmware update for the VGS adapter. Was it the brand new VGA adapter? I called Apple today, the day after, & the guy was very helpful. I do lots of speeches/workshops with all different DLP or LCD projectors. Winged it pretty well, I thought, but my head was exploding. Since it was a brand new speech (with 300 slides), I had no idea what was coming next. The program was hell, as the Notebook didn’t have a presentation mode, and I could only see the current slide.

In desperation, with 15 minutes to go, I borrowed a PC Notebook, which hooked up immediately, projecting on the screen with no problem at all. Said he had no idea of what the resolution was supposed to be on an Air. Thinking maybe it was the projector, high on the auditorium ceiling, we set up another DLP projector onstage. Changed the resolution many times–at one point, got a picture of my Mac desktop on the big screen, but with a wavy line running through it, and it wouldn’t see my PP when I went into Presentation mode. Changed the resolution (though I don’t actually know what it should be now–what should it be for a PP presentation on an Air, do you know?), nothing. On site, we hooked the Mac via my new VGA adapter to the VGA cable, and got a black screen with vertical lines running down it. Relearned all the new PP changes, put together a brand new PP for a presentation I had to give yesterday to 150 teachers. Just got a new Air and Office 2011 last week. Amazon’s selling Office 2011 for $175 today.īeen using PP 2008 on my MacBook Air for years with no problems. If you’re an MSDN or TechNet subscriber, you can download Office 2011 for the Mac through your subscriptions downloads. This is the kind of tool that helps me be a better presenter. Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen, and PowerPoint pops up thumbnails for your slides, giving you a quick way to jump around from slide to slide without the audience getting dizzy: Slide Thumbnails at the BottomĮven if Office 2011 doesn’t bring any other improvements, that’s enough for me. This is great when someone asks me a question that I want to address later, or if there’s something I want to add to my presentation the next time I give it. This helps you build better segues.Īt the bottom left, there’s my slide notes for the current slide.Īt the bottom right, I can type in meeting notes live without exiting my presentation. To the right, “One Approach: Wait” is the next slide that the audience will see. On the left, “Step 3” is the current slide that the audience is seeing. There’s buttons for Swap Displays (for easier dual-monitor setup), Tips (showing the keystroke shortcuts like B to black out the audience screen), and Exit Show. Here’s what my laptop screen shows while I’m presenting: PowerPoint 2011 Presenter ViewĪt the top, there’s a bar showing how far into your presentation you’re currently at – giving you an at-a-glance idea of whether you’re on track.
This has been around for several versions of PowerPoint on both Windows and Mac, but the new Office 2011 for the Mac just kicked it up a notch. When you do, your presentation shows up on the projector, but your laptop display shows something else – Presenter View.
If you hook up a projector to your laptop, you can configure the projector to be a second screen rather than a copy of what’s on your laptop display.
