Editing presentations on multiple screens / multiple monitors

[Guest]

In Office 2003, I was able to get open to different copies of powerpoint at
the same time, and then put two presentations on two different screens. This
allowed for quick cut, copy and paste from one screen to another.

In Office 2007, I seem to have lost this functionality. Everything opens in
the same version of PPT and I can't see two presentations on multiple
monitors. Is there a work around this issue?

PowerPoint has never allowed more than one instance of itself to run at a time
unless you have several versions installed at once.

You may have started PPT, stretched it across both screens, opened two
presentations then done Window, Arrange All. That'd give you the same general
effect.

I'm not set up where I can test this in 2007, but try the same trick (the
Arrange All command is now on the View tab)
