project a presentation while still working on another presentati.

[Guest]

I was told that Windows XP and powerpoint can be used to simultaneously
project a presentation while working on another presentation and have a split
screen to be able to see what is projected and worked on.

You might want to look at PowerShow add-in at
http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html. It enables you to
project the slide show while you continue to work on another monitor.

Can you explain what you mean by "and have a split screen"? I am guessing
you mean your primary screen on your computer (not the projected image).
Here are my 2 solutions to doing that:
1. Add a DA (video splitter) to your external VGA (the one going to the
projector) and run a local monitor next to your computer so you can see what
is being projected.
2. If your local monitor has S-Video in and picture-in-picture capabilities,
loop out the video signal from the projector on a "S-video" line and connect
it to your monitor. Run the presentation in the picture-in-picture box.
