MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006Runing a Slide Show on dual Monitors while working?
Ok I have a presentation runing on one screen and would like to keep it going while I work on the other screen. The problem I am having is that once I attempt to work the powerpoint presentaion stops moving. Does anyone know how to change this so that I can work on one screen and run the show on the other? Cant be done unless you use an add in eg powershow from officeone  Signature----- Did that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Ok I have a presentation runing on one screen and would like to keep it > going while I work on the other screen.

Look at PowerShow at http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html. Among other things, it will allow you to run a slide show on one monitor while you continue to work on something else on other monitor. Look at the following link to know how to set it up: http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow_tutorial1_1.html. - Chirag OfficeOne Animations - Add over 50 animation effects to PowerPoint http://officeone.mvps.org/anims/anims.html > Thanks for the info.
