Playing multiple slideshows

[Tony Penna]

I am working on a project where I need one CPU to display three different
slide shows on three different monitors (I have multiple video cards, enough
for 7 monitors), but Powerpoint opens every slideshow in one window, so I
can't move the different slide shows to different monitors. Under the Slide
Show menu, I click on Set Up Show... and I can send slide shows to a monitor
other than the primary, but it sends ALL slide shows to that monitor. Can I
set up Powerpoint to display different slide shows on different monitors?

I just learned this one myself yesteraday:

MVP John Wilson has this solution posted over at his site:
http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/mmmagic.html

However, there is a note that this will not work with 2007. As a second
caveat, I'm not sure if this works for more instances than 2.

HTH

Never tried with more than two! Bear in mind that this is a "dirty" solution
and probably viewed as a bug by Msoft.

BO:

While PowerShow isn't ideal, it looks like it will do the job. Thanks!
