Using the extended desktop with the

SMART Board Extended Desktop:

The first thing you need to do is

to set up your extended

desktop:

Right click on the desktop

Select Graphic Properties

Multiple Displays

Operating Mode should say Extended Desktop

Primary Display should be the Digital

Secondary Display should be the Monitor

A splitter would have to be set up on the secondary monitor if you want to have two monitors on your desktop and having one connected to your projector.

Moving the SMART Board display to the Extended Desktop

Open up the “orient” screen

Notice that it says “To select another display, press the

space bar”

So hit the space bar to move it from your

primary display to your extended. You can hit the

ESC key when done.

You may want to drag your tool bar to the

extended screen.

Moving pages to the extended screen:

When you work with pages and you wish to have one be displayed on the extended

desktop screen, if it is “maximized”; select “restore down”, and then move the window

by “left clicking” (holding it down) on the main blue title bar and dragging it over to your

extended desktop.

Naturally at this point if you want to maximize the screen you may.

Playing Power Point

Some programs like Power Point will look to display on the primary screen, you may have to find the

settings to adjust it so it will play on the extended screen when you play it.

On the Power Point menu you will find that you can change this setting under the “Slide Show” ribbon,

and where is says “Show On”, select “Monitor 2”.
