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.
