Running a Presentation Using
the Slide Viewer

When you intend to run a presentation with
PowerPoint in a conference room, you can control the
presentation by operating your computer in the same
room or in the location far away from the projector.

What you can do with the Slide Viewer

You can
• run a slide show using the file created with

PowerPoint.

• show a custom slide show if created.
• show a speaker’s note or hide it.
• show a slide or hide it.
• set timings to advance a slide during a slide show.

You can select an automatic or manual slide show.

Notes

• It may take time to display the file depending on your

network configuration.

• As the Slide Viewer is a basic PowerPoint viewer

function, it does not support some features of
PowerPoint. We recommend you should project the
file you are using for your presentation on the
projector before starting the presentation.

• The following fonts are available for the Presentation

Viewer; Arial, Bookman Old Style, Comic Sans MS,
Impact, Symbol, Tahoma, Times New Roman and
Wingdings.
