Viewing 2 Powerpoint files simultaneously

[Jeff]

I have Office XP. Within Word, if I open a second Word file a second window
opens and I can therefore copy and paste between the two. When I open a
second file in PowerPoint it does not open a separate second window which
make it difficult to copy and paste between 2 files. Is there a way to
change this behavior?

Thanks.

Jeff

Open presentation #1, then open presentation #2.

Now click on Windows => 'Arrange all' and both will be visible.

From the main menu bar: Window, Arrange All or Window, Cascade

Works pretty much the same in all Windows programs that allow you to have
multiple files open at once.

Do you mean viewing (as in editing mode) or playing two presentations at
once? If you mean playing, PowerPoint is designed as a single instance
application. (It can only play one presentaion at a time.) There some add
ins that allow you to play two at a time but it requires a very powerful PC
and very simple animations in order to get a quality playback.
