If you need the real-deal MS Office programs, that will cost you over 100. If you want or need programs that function almost identically to the MS Office programs then you can use LibreOffice, which is free open-source software. Not really willing to pay $99 for the opportunity to ask them for a solution. The iWork programs will read and write the file formats of the Microsoft Office analogs: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Tried to file a bug with MS, but came up against a payment window. Why is there now no option to turn it off?Ĭhanging the screen output without an option to disable it can cause projectors and scalers to lose their alignment, and can lead to huge headaches in AV staging production.Īnyone here experience this issue, or have a solution/workaround? It’s always been an option to turn it on. Presenter view is not new to Powerpoint:mac, indeed it has been part of Powerpoint since 2004.
Yes, there is an option at the top of the presenter screen to ‘swap display’, which will flip the two outputs, but there is no option that I can see to present in mirror mode. Just had my first experience with mac:office 2011, and can confirm the following:ġ) take a Macbook Pro and set to ‘mirror’ģ) Press either ‘Play’ or ‘Presenter Mode’ (same behaviour results)Ĥ) Powerpoint forces the computer into dual-screen (non-mirrored) mode, and plonks the presenter view onto one of the screens.
