Presenting the fundraiser results and worried you’ll forget to thank Dale? Press Alt + F5. Your notes stay on your screen, not the big one.

The Shortcut

  • Alt + F5: start in Presenter View
  • Your notes, the next slide and a timer
  • The audience sees just the slide

Bonus Tip: Ctrl + S

During the show, Ctrl + S lists every slide. Pick one and press Enter.
