I've grown to like the presenter view in Powerpoint 2007; let's me navigate easily, and more important, lets me easily leverage notes as I often have scripts embedded in the notes. If you haven't tried it it treats the projector as a second monitor, audience sees the slide full screen, you see more of a split screen view. Where it doesn't work so well is when it's time to do the demos. The first problem is that for demos you really want a clone view, both laptop and projector showing the same thing so that you can look down and work - but thats the opposite of the dual view needed for presenter mode. It's possible to work - though sometimes awkwardly - by just watching the screen while you work, all depending on how you're situated in the room. The other part is that when you open dialogs they have a tendency to pop in the laptop window so that you have to drag them to the other display, and that gets tedious.

So, I'm looking for suggestions. Two laptops won't help, because my notes/script would be on the other machine. I like the idea of using two projectors so I can leave my slide up while I demo, but I don't think that solves my problem either. Find some quick way to toggle between clone view and dual view? Change which is the primary so that dialogs don't pop on the wrong monitor? Seems like there should be a simple answer but as you can see if there is, it's not obvious to me!
