Hi Glenna, I believe I didn't state my question properly. I am not trying to
edit two different PPTs or show two slides at a time. I am using the dual
monitor function so I can show the slideshow on the secondary screen (a
projector in this case) and PPT in edit mode on the primary monitor. What I
would like to happen is when I page down/up the slideshow (to move to the
next/previous slide) the slide in edit mode also changes so that they are the
same.
I have seen this happen on some presentations and not on others. I have
checked within the different presentations but can't figure out what option
causes this to happen.
I hope I have explained it better this time.
