I am experimenting with "presenter view" of PowerPoint 2007 on my Windows XP laptop. Almost everything is fine, except the images are reversed. That is, the "presenter" view (i.e. the image that has the current displayed slide, plus at the bottom the preceding and subsequent slides) is on the signal-cable-connected display (in this case, a secondary monitor, but in real life an LCD display). On the other hand, the "audience presentation" (i.e. just the slide show slides) are on the integrated display of the laptop.
I really need to reverse these images, but can't seem to do so. I suspect it has something to do with control panel "display," and those "1" and "2" icons, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks.
Go back out of presenter view. Move the Powerpoint application to the other window and maximize it. Then try presenter view again and see if they switch places.
Possibly this bug from earlier versions if you imported and old .ppt?

Cut the ground prong off and turn the plug over.
Sounds like it’s set up for rear projection, in which you need a reversed image at the projector.
sorry everyone, should have checked more. I didn’t see the “show presentation on” dropdown box. There is where I tell PowerPoint where to send the “audience” view and where to send the “presenter” view. Thanks anyway.
That was an excellent suggestion! haha! lmao here in puter land.
