Slide View

Slide View has two panes. If the PC is running a PowerPoint slide show, then the top pane displays an image of the current slide, and the bottom pane displays the speaker's notes for the current slide (converted to text).

Using the Mouse
Using the Keyboard

Using the Mouse

Slide View emulates a pointing device and keyboard for the desktop PC. Drawing on the slide image in Slide View simply moves the PC's mouse cursor.

Using the Keyboard

Using handwriting recognition or using the keyboard sends those keystrokes to the PC as if they were typed.

Titles View

You can switch to Titles View by clicking on the Titles button in the toolbar.

Titles View displays the complete list of titles of all the slides. The name for each title is the same as displayed on the first line of the Outline View in PowerPoint.

If the PC is running a PowerPoint slide show, then the currently displayed slide's title will be shown in reverse video. Tapping on any slide title will cause the show to change to the selected slide.
