Powerpoint slide show using dual screens

[Guest]

A user has to work with 2 screens on horizontal scroll. When she uses
powerpoint 2002 SP3 and put it into slideshow mode it automatically spans
across both screens, even if she has powerpoint open and scaled to fit onto
just one scree. This is really annoying as the frames for both screens cut
down the middle of each slide. Is there any way to set this up so slideshow
only takes up one screen?

Thanks

Hmmm, sounds like this is not a typical dual monitor setup using the
'extended desktop' option on most graphics cards. In an extended desktop
situation PPT only recognizes one of the monitors as the active screen and
runs slideshow only on it. Any chance this person has a matrox graphics
card?

Thanks Troy

One of the puzzling things i still find is setting up these damn things. I
didn't check but I do know we have a mix of Matrox Millenium, NVIDIA and
GeForce cards i think is the 3rd one. Not sure which of them she has.
