Re: runnin ppt minimized

Of course, the answer is simple, no and yes.

PowerPoint Presentation Window normally runs semi-exclusively, meaning that,
just as you described, it stops when any other program window gets the
focus. This includes even the edit pane of PowerPoint and is completely
normal. This type of setup allows for all reasonably available resources to
be devoted to the presentation.

I think, if you were using Power-show add-in to PowerPoint that you could
run the presentation in the background. But to be sure, you may want to
check with it's faq page.
