Using Presenter Tools in Mac PowerPoint 2008

The Presenter Tools option in the Slide Show option in Mac PowerPoint 2008 looks cool. You can view the slide being shown right now, upcoming slides, notes, and a clock simultaneously.

BUT, I was having a problem -- on the screen of my MacBook was the slide to be shown to the audience, and the projector was showing the presenter's view.

To Fix:
On your main mac status bar, go to the monitor icon and make sure that mirroring is turned off.
In PowerPoint, Go to Slide Show menu
Choose "Set Up Show"
Choose "Screen"
PowerPoint tells you to click the screen that you want for the audience monitor. Select the bigger screen. Now it works the way it's supposed to!
