What's new in PowerPoint 2013-13 - Presenter view

Presenter view has been revamped.

Presenter view is used when you have two displays, for instance a laptop and a projector. The projector shows the slides in Slide show view the laptop shows the presentor view.

Presenter view is automatically activated when you start the presentation. If you do not have a projector connected you can still use presenter view by pressing the Alt+F5 key combination or by pressing F5 and clicking on the button with the three points in the navigation bar in the left hand corner of your screen. Then choose Show Presenter View.
