Problem with 2nd monitor viewing

[Guest]

I have made a presentation that is to be shown on a 2nd monitor, and have
chosen that option in powerpoint before saving as .pps
But when I start the presentation it only appears on my primary monitor.
I have configured my monitors correctly (used the identify funktion to check)
I have chosen 2nd monitor as the screen to show the presentation
The presentation starts in 2nd monitor when I have the presentation open in
PowerPoint for editing.
I need this to function because the presentation I am going to scedule it
for automatic viewing at a preset time

PowerPoint makes the assumption that a pps file will only be used to view,
so always plays it on the primary monitor. This is not a settable option,
sorry.

Try changing to primary monitor before saving to pps and see
what happens.

Look at PowerShow at http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html. It
allows you to set your presentation to display on a particular monitor. It
also allows you to store your settings in a file that can be launched from a
scheduler.
