PPT and Dual Monitors

[Florian Gareen]

I am using a display adapter that does dual output. Is it
possible to run PPT shows on the 2nd monitor or does show
launch in Primary monitor only?

If it is possible, where do I set things to do that?

I have the 2 monitors working with Primary/Secondary
designations and Extended desktop, although maybe Clone
desktop might be a better setting.

Thanks

Florian

Go to Slide Show > Set up show and set the monitor you want the show to
display on.

Thank you. I kept looking and found that.

Is there a good tutorial at your site (address below) for
using 2 montiors with PPT that is available? I will go
look; so if it is findable there, no need to reply.

I can get the show on the monitor that I want but would
like to keep doing something on the other without loosing
context of the PPT show. Mouse clicks seem to lose the
context and sometimes actually ending the show.

Thanks Florian

It is by design that PowerPoint freezes the slide show when you try to do
something else. Look at PowerShow add-in at
http://officerone.tripod.com/powershow/powershow.html - it works around this
problem and provides you other features.
