I'm using a single computer with a dual monitir card in it to try and run two
display screens in the lobby of our building. Is it posible to run two
presntations and have them both animate according to the custom annimation
settings, at the same time from a single machine?

I can get the two presentations to come up on the two screens, but only one
of them is active at a time.

OfficeOne PowerShow add-in allows you to view different PowerPoint slide
shows on separate monitors simultaneously and more. You can try out the trial

Thanks Shawn, this was helpful and fast. I have installed the software and
it looks like it should do exactly what I need. I don't see the option under
teh Slide Show menu option that is supposed to launch the add-in options
though. Any suggestions, am I missing an install step?
