Secondary monitor setting not saved?

J

JohnK

Hi,
I use PP 2000 and saved a slideshow that has to run on the secondary
monitor. In PP itself I can change the setting under Slideshow settings, but
when saving it and later re-open it, the setting is changed back to primary
monitor.
Another question on the same subject: what is the VBA command for the
secondary monitor setting?
Must be something like:
with activepresentation.slideshowsettings
.????=???? <--- set to secondary monitor screen
end with

Any help, please.

For the first part of the problem, look at:

PPT2000: "Show On" Secondary Monitor Slide Show Setting Is Not Saved
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;241277

The object model does not provide a way to set the monitor for the slide
show. It provides Left, Top, Width and Height for SlideShowWindow, though.
You can query on the monitors using Windows APIs and use these to set the
slide show on a different monitor.
