how do I put slides side by side on one screen?

[Guest]

I have two slides that I want to put side by side for comparison purposes on
a screen. How do I go about doing that? It is okay if they are smaller in
the side-by-side comparison than in the originals. Thanks for your help

Open up the two presentations, then click Window > Arrange All.

If the arrange all solution doesn't work (and it may not because you might want
to do this in slide show view), try this instead:

Create a new slide

Switch to slide sorter view, find the slide you want on the left.
Click it, press Ctrl+C to copy it
Switch to normal view, go to the new slide you created and choose Edit, Paste
Special, As ... (experiment with the different options; PNG's good, EMF or WMF
may work well for you too).

Repeat with the other slide.

This gives a picture of each of your slides, both on one slide so you can
arrange them however you like.
