Help with slide-show on dual screen with impress

[Benjamin1]

I have to give a presentation very soon. For this I will use Libre Office Impress on a Dell Vostro 1510 with Fedora 16, which connects to a large screen through some routing device (catching sound, video and switching all on / off).

I made a trial today and what I get is a dual-screen set-up, rather than having the large screen cloning the existing LCD view. What I get is the following:

In the above screen-shot, the left half of the image corresponds to the laptop’s LCD view and the right half to the large (public) screen.

However, I need the detailed view on my LCD and the full-screen view on the large screen. How can I swap the views? How are the two views named and can I switch them on / off?

Where did you get that template? Or did you create it?

[Benjamin1]

Are you referring to the background? If so texture and font from internet.

[AlexanderWilms]

Oh, alright. Thanks

I love this! I have just come from powerpoint after a long time away from OOO/LO, and pp does not show me this dual thing with the next slide or timing or notes or if powerpoint does, I do not know how to get it to do so and it should do it by default because this is so cool!

There’s a button to the right of the timer that says “exchange”. Simply click that button and it will swap the presentation display and presenter’s display.

[Benjamin1]

There does not seem to be such a button visible on the screen-shot here above. Could you be more explicit or provide a screen-shot?

[Benjamin1]

Actually I could not find the thing you described.

I found the solution in Slide Show > Slide Show Settings …
Under the “Multiple Displays” section, I could select which display to show the presentation onto.

Maybe this extension can help, with more control on the presentation:
