    Hey folks,

    Please try this workaround for presenting PPT slides on a Mac with only one display: 

    1. Open Powerpoint
    2. Click Slideshow
    3. Select Set up Show
    4. Select Browsed by an individual (window)
    5. Use the Specific Application Sharing screen sharing method in GoTo to share just the PowerPoint application

Thanks - that is very helpful and certainly allows me to use PPT as an app rather than having to share my entire screen.  However I was suprised that I had to position the PPT app window really carefully on my screen to make sure that attendees could see the whole slide, otherwise they only saw part of it.

I knew it was a problem because I always log in to the sessions that I run on an additional computer to make sure I can see the user experience - just never certain that GTT is doing exactly what I want it to do.
