One useful feature of PowerPoint allows you to add notes to your slides that an audience will never see. As slides scroll by, you can glance at your laptop and stay aware of important details.

However, if you're worried about a technical hiccup taking down your slide or don’t want to be glued to the computer, it's a good idea to add notes to your PowerPoint presentation and print it out.

Presenter View in PowerPoint lets you view presentations with speaker notes on one computer, while the audience views the notes on a second monitor! Launch PowerPoint. Look for Slide Show tab.
