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 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. Pressing the Action button corresponds to pressing the left mouse button, while pressing the Exit button corresponds to pressing the right mouse button.

Using the Keyboard

Entering Jot characters or using the onscreen keyboard commands sends those keystrokes to the PC as if they were typed. The onscreen keyboard has been augmented with additional buttons commonly found on PC keyboards, such as Alt, F1-F12, Insert, and Delete.

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.
