Thanks,

    Your answer was better than I originally thought.  Ctrl-Shift-spacebar does not work for the presenter until the presenter clicks away from the content being shared (like the webcam I mentioned earlier.)  In other words, you have to let your computer know that the keyboard shortcut is for your computer, not the one you're controlling.

     

    Thanks again.

      Hi andersonj ,

       

      Glad to have helped. Yeah the shortcuts are definitely contextual.

       

      Thanks

    This introduced the option to stop control on the computer whose content was being shared.  That option is helpful, but not what I had hoped for.  

    I did find that as a presenter the toolbar would remain open if I picked another content source (a webcam.)  Then I could stop control and return to the shared screen content of the PowerPoint deck.

     

    Thanks for getting me closer!
