2 PPT-DOCS on 2 Monitors

[Unverzagt]

Hello NG,

I already received answers to the above question (October 27th 2004):

(PowerPoint is a single instance application. With dual monitors you can
stretch
your PowerPoint window to span the two monitors. Then, open two
presentations
and go to Windows > Arrange All. Now you will see both and can work on
both.)

Thanx to Sonia, the above works very well, but I've seen a solution I would
prefer to use:

My husband has an Apple MAC/G5 System X and uses Powerpoint 2003 or
Powerpoint 2004 (German Version) on two monitors. He can open two seperate
windows with two different PPT-Documents and work in both of them at the
same time, changing from one monitor to the other one. Is this feature
limited to MAC-Users, or to a certain version of Powerpoint?

Thank you very much

Eleonore Unverzagt

If you have two versions of PowerPoint installed on your PC you can do the same.
I have PowerPoint 97, 2000, 2002 and 2003 on my system. (If you want to install
multiple versions on a system, you should/must install the oldest first and each
version should be installed to its own folder.) If your husband can do this
with only one version of PowerPoint then I would say that it must be a
capability of PowerPoint on the Mac that is not available with PC versions of
PowerPoint.
