How do you enable PowerPoint to open presentations in separate windows? I
can't find the option that allows this. I have multiple monitors and would
like to compare two presentations simultaneously.

I doubt if Msoft would approve of the "dirty" method but you can get two
instances of Powerpoint (not just two presentations) open at the same time on
seperate monitors.
