Amy and all listserv members,
I am sending this message to the listserv since it might help others in
addition to Amy.
I have low vision and do a lot of presentations using PowerPoint. What I do
is get someone else to operate the computer for me. I print out the slides
one slide per page for my own use. I hope this works for you, Amy. Feel
free to write directly to me if you want to discuss this.
Jan

Hi all - I'm desperate to find a solution to this problem. Next week I'm =
giving a long (hour) power point presentation to a sighted audience. I =
have some vision, but I usually can't see the details on the projection =
screen as well as I need to. So I need to be able to view a magnified =
version of the slide show (using zoom text) while I project an =
unmagnified view. This is not possible with a single laptop running zoom =
text, since the video output is magnified just like what's on the =
screen. My current solution is to run the slide show on two laptops, one =
connected to the projector that is showing a normal slide show, and one =
on a separate laptop that is running zoomtext. I sit in front of the =
latter so I can see the details that I need to describe to the audience. =
The problem is that this is rather clumsy since I have to click two =
different mice to advance the slides and animate any objects like arrows =
etc (which I like to add since I can't point well to objects on the =
projection screen). A computer (not typically a laptop) with a dual head =
video card might work, although AI Squared reports that inconsistent =
results are usually obtained, sometimes both outputs are magnified, =
sometimes only one. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Amy
