How to keep Presentation running w/o PPT having focus

[markus.hartbauer]

Hello! I have noticed that PPT stops an automatic presentation when it
looses focus. This is bad behaviour since I would like to keep the
presentation cycling on screen-2 while I work sthg different on
screen-1

Does anybody know how to turn this off in other words how to make PPT
keep cycling through automatic presentations even if it does NOT have
the FOCUS?


Thank you in advance,
M.

There is a product that allows this behavior, but it is not a native part of
PowerPoint. Look at PowerShow.

However, if you are running Vista, you can get around this. Vista will let
you play a presentation in a window on one screen while you work on another.

(Please ignore the funky smilies in the middle of the text. There is
something going on with Lockergnome's blogging software that causes them.)
