Mine is Microsoft Powerpoint 2002 and Shift+F5 is not working in it :( Aug 29, 2010 at 11:07

I have a multi-monitor Windows setup, and F5 and/or Shift+F5 both launch as one monitor with presentation, but also with one with presenter view. How do you just show the presentation without the presenter view?– J-DizzleJul 9, 2015 at 18:13

ALT, W, D does show Reading View though. This somewhat solves my question above :)– J-DizzleJul 9, 2015 at 18:14

And how can you jump to the next page without going through all the animations?– skanSep 19, 2015 at 17:20
